Kickstart possible?

[Borracho]

Okay, so electric starters are for suckas. Anyway of putting a REAL kickstarter on a Hyper?

Oh, that would be soooooo sweet.....

[jboothe]

You are joking...right?

[Borracho]

Hells no dood. I used to have a few old bikes that had kickers. I loved them.

There's just something about kicking a motor over.

Anything can be done...but in this case I must say it is not worth the time, effort and money it would take. Kicking over a modern bike would be a pain in the arse. With the engine size and higher compression than what they ran on older bikes, you would be lucky not to break an ankle just to start it.

I hope you live on a steep hill after you remove the starter, cause you ain't getting this 1100 kickstarted

Obviously never been stuck on a trail trying to kick start a XR500. Add a sprained ankle from getting kicked back. Now double that.

I know, I know. I started thinking about that. Both my motors were 750's.

Ah, dare to dream......

Drinking and typing is just as dangerous as drinking and driving, bud.

How did you know Marco.....

I don't know about the Ducks, but a lot of fuel injected motors can't even be spun fast enough by hand (foot?) to get them going. The kick starter is available on Harley's but they don't work with fuel injection. At least that's what I've been told.
