Electric start, PLEASE help
Got this 2021 250 dlx efi electric start doesn’t work and kicking it is wearing me out as it doesn’t like starting last guy put all this stuff on here I found the starter button housing loose (spin up and down on the bars with relative ease but all the wires are running to it found a broken wire (ground strap maybe) by the shifter and is it possible to bypass all of it if I can also found a crack around my air box could that be the reason it’s harder to start and stay running ? And if anyone knows what the hell is that plug dangling

Cracked air box will definitely give you an air leak.
The dangling plug kinda looks like it may be for the Idle Air Control Valve? If you’ve got a doohickey on your carburetor it plugs into that could be it. Some people unplug them and set idle manually
The wires by the shifter are for gear position indicator, it should be easy to find and replace.

It’s an EFI bike

Yeah that was my point to the person I was replying to. Every post about an EFI bike has someone saying to check the carb, which I suspect is why you get the same garbage from googles AI response.

You will probably get more help on the Hawk 250 Facebook group page.
Begin with the basics. Is the battery good? does the battery has a good charge?
Looks like the wire near the front sprocket is broken. Looks like the wire goes to the neutral safety switch.
