the guy I ride with has the starter kit for his cr500, it works great. They told him it was some of the first shipped to the US. It works great! The only issues he had is that the cheap crappy solenoid it came with was a cheap lawnmower one and it would stick! After installing a nicer streetbike one from cycle gear it has been fine. The only other issue is that it sheered off 2 keyways, they emailed out a notice to increase the torque specs on the flywheel to correct that.
