I've broken two cranks which left their generators spinning like a
motor. :-(

I incorrectly thought the alternator and the starter motor are the same
(Incorrect assumption: The alternator is normally a generator but acts
as a motor when the engine starts hence the name alternator). But after
reading your post I checked up the web and now I know: the alternator
is not the same as the starter motor. I meant the starter motor in my
original message.

When I had the problem, it seemed to me when I turn the key, the
starter motor is running but the engine is not turning (I did not feel
any shuddering when the engine kicks in). I got the feeling that the
starter motor somehow did not couple with the engine. Or maybe the
engine was turning but there was no spark or fuel.

I am scared that the engine might stop in the middle of a busy highway.
The dealer is likely to find "no problem". I should go the dealer
anyway...

Bitchen. :-) Although many motorcycles operate that way.
Yes, go to the Stealership, that's what warranties are for.

Leave the key in the ON position for 5 seconds, then turn the key. This will
allow the fuel system to pressurize.

If if doesn't start, try pressing down on the gas pedal while cranking the
engine. If you can't get it started, bring it to the dealership.
