Servo Start
Have I missed something?
My S2R1000 had a servo assisted starter. Push and leave it to start on its own.
The 1098 & 848 I originally test drove were traditional starters and so now is my new 848.
Dealer never mentioned it and started the bikes as though they were non assisted; no mention of it in the owners manual either.
Faulty bike(s) or as it should be?

Mine is a normal (non-assisted) starter. Have never ridden anything that was assisted, so didn't even notice.

Sorry
Didn't explain myself that well last night did I!!!
Anyway, most of the bikes I've owned over the years were like the cars i owned, u turned them over (button or key) til they caught.
The S2R1000 I had was different; u pressed the starter then let it go. the bike turned itself over til it caught and started.
Is anyones 1098 or 848 like that or are they traditional starters like mine?

I test rode a 1098s and i,m sure it had a servo start (just press the button let go, and it starts itself) I thought my 848 had it but it wasn't working. maybe it just hasn' got it.getting a bit confused now. Somebody must know!
p.s. Sorry just read GIBI848 post below, must think before typing!

From the posts above it would appear the 1098 is assisted and the 848 is not.

My engine starts much better in the warmer weather, It took at least couple of goes in the colder winter days 
Must be the Italian temperament. |

Thanks for that. The 1098 I test rode was an absolute pig to start cold!! |
