Ebay Denso starter installed! Problems! Need advice!

I received and installed the Denso starter that I won on ebay. Man this thing is strong. I don't know if the original was worn out or maybe it's just that weak but it sounds like a different bike while starting. It was listed for a Daytona/Speed Triple/Sprint for anyone looking to buy one.

Pretty good for $42.

Thanks everyone for the advice.


Edit: So I finished draining and refilling the coolant, put the tank back on, hooked up and turned on the fuel, now it won't start. It just spins over(beautifully) the same way it did when it needed an igniter. That was replaced only four months ago. I've fully charged the battery, no good. I don't have an extra plug but tried arcing with a screwdriver and there doesn't seem to be a spark.

It has only been two weeks since it was run so I don't think the gas would have gone bad. It was running fine at that point. They did a load test on the battery at the parts store. What could it be this time? I'm really not too keen on paying to hear it's the igniter again. That'll be a deal breaker between me and the bike.

Thanks again in advance for any advice.
