DR-Z400 with kickstart kit -- does it run without battery?
BTW, it's completely insane that these bikes don't come with kick backup!

Says its only for the E model but it DOES fit the S models.

I bought mine (DRZ-400E DR-Z400 BACK UP kick start kit)
for $226.00 including shipping from the states ( Mt. Pleasant, Utah, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Motorcycle, ATV, Scooter, Utility-Vehicle, Dealer, Used, Parts, Accessories, Apparel) The guy I dealt with was Shane Greene.
Took a couple of hours to fit and comes with everything you need. I didn't use the decompressor lever that came with it because it looked pants. I fitted a perch and levers of Honda CRF 450. (nice and tidy)
It's saved my bacon a few times and I often routinely start with the kick to preserve the battery.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
