RE: Kickstarter Install w/pics
looks good...was wondering what all was involved in doin this.
how much did all of the stuff cost? and did you have to add some type of decompression switch, or is it still not that hard to kickstart it?

Anybody know if it's possible to ditch the starter motor altogether?

Why wouldnt it be? You might need a new side cover where the starte hits the flywheel, if you take the starter off there would probably bea hole... a klx300 side cover would probably work.

Good to hear that, FM.
On latermodels of the KLX300, Kawiwent with different timing on the ACR to make thekick starting easier and take some stress off of the idle gear.Itmight be worthlooking for an exhaust cam on ebay or getting with Brewster at Thumpertalk about repositioning your ACR. I don't recall what year the change started but you can see when thePN changed on the KLX300part fich.
