Anyone ever think about trying to install a kickstarter? Just for those occasions where your electrics are frozen from something, like a long standing sitting period. Or maybe a flooded engine from a layed down stunt? Just an idea, but I think it would be so fricken hard to kickstart 599CC's

 

Thats what running next to the bike is called. When its got a dead batter, you run next to the bike in second gear, hop on it and pop the clutch.

 

Or if you come across a big dog chopper with the same problem, it take three persons and third gear. Sometimes even those posers like when a crotch rocket stops to help.

 

My 1975 Suzuki GT550 three-cylinder had a kickstarter. But it had something like a 6.7:1 compression ratio.

 

I quit riding in the dirt because I got tired of having to kickstart the bike. I've never heard of anyone trying to do that, but I say go for it man and let us know how that works out.
