ALL Xr650r's are kickstart. You can get a kit which gives you a button start. A starter motor, battery, electrics and customised case and starter gear.
Althoug this is very nice for wizzing around town, if something goes wrong in the wilderness , your gonna be screwed as no one will have the parts you need.
I dont know why people think they need electric start. My Xr kicked first time everytime. If your's wont start second kick then it needs looking at.
Change the pilot jet to a 68 as they (uk ones anyway) leave the factory running lean for EU laws. makes a huge difference.
THe EU Xr has all the plumbing making it road legal with very little effort.
