Hey guys. Looking for some input. Looking for alternate ways to start my '85 KX500 SBK. My rear sets will not give me enough throw/clearance to kick start the bike normally. And even if I could, being in full leathers would not be fun attempting to do so.
I was looking at the KX500 facebook page last week and saw that some guy was starting his KX500 with a handheld electric starter. Guess a lot of juiced up race bikes are started this way? Thought this would be a great way to start the bike in the paddock. have any of you gone with this method? the motor has to spin counter-clockwise which had me thinking about how it would be possible to spin the flywheel nut with enough torque from the electric starter. has anyone run into any issues with this?
