e start be nice for when you stall it in a race and your tired , dont care about hydraulic clutch ,had a bit of trouble with one of the ktm ones when there worn out there a lot more expensive system then just a cable. they should of kept the side access air filter box going from the early kx 2 strokes but i like the kx 250 f bikes had one for 10 years with over 320 hrs on it , few rebuilds along the way but never broke and are so easy to ride . But kawi really needs to bring back one 300 cc or more 2 stroke off road with or the bells and whistles to get back in the hunt , bringing back the old klx 300r with new styling and electric start , crikey the thing weighs over 280 lbs and has the old 43 mm forks with no rebound adjuster wake up who ever in the marketing department.
