Anyone bought a kick start kit and never fitted it?

Want to sell it?

 

FYI, I bought an entire 300 bottom end for cheaper than the kit alone.
I've often contemplated fitting the 250 stator in the 300 case to lose the starter...but the button is still nice when it works.

 

Is the kick start kit very expensive?

edit: yikes, seems a lot more complicated than I thought: https://www.kawasakiforums.com/forum...l-w-pics-9044/

 

What's wrong with bump-starting it on the rare occasions when a non-electric start is required? Shouldn't be very hard with a bike this light. I've done it on bigger bikes with dead batteries.

 

When it's more than just stalling, like the bike is flooded or just cold, bump-starting becomes a tiring, frustrating, exercise!

Also, if you do stall in sand or mud or tight forest, that kick-start will be handy.

I know it's an expensive backup to the magic button, but in my experience, you don't have battery trouble at the top of a nice big hill!

 

Hill? Back in the day we just pushed the bike, hopped on and dropped the clutch in second gear. I guess times have changed.

 

You don't always have the ability to bump-start. You'd have a tough time bump starting on some of the trails I ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CQkKGdQLuI
Particularly if you stalled at around 7:45 or 7:55 in that video.
