can I fit a kickstart to an XT 600 E?
..if so how?
and what parts will I need? I am fed up having to pray my battery is up for it every time I go green laneing:( It's far too heavy to bump start on my own so a good old fashioned kick start would be the answer..any ideas?? Cheers Carwyn |
It can be done - and I have all the parts. I can even give you instructions if you struggle doing it.
PM me with an offer if you are intrested!!! |
I know you can and I've been considering it myself , but its an easy £200 in parts alone, and the instructions I can find are only in German.

Half that would be more than enough - It's a doddle to fit too. The only thing is you wouldn't have the de-compressor (because the electric start bikes don't have the mechanism fitted) but it's not a big issue. |
How much!!
Seriously... i just want a few bin parts to act as back up to a new but voliitile battery. A tenners on its way to you..can you fit it as well?:mchappy:

How easy is it to fit? I imagined it would be a big strip down job? Could you write up a guide, maybe get it stickied on here?

The bits are here if you want them - You could have a kicker by the weekend!!! Bear in mind there's the mechanism AND the clutch cover AND the kicker itself. If you can get it for less than £100 let me know.... |

Hmm so if I ride to leeds on my XT600E with say £100 in my pocket would I be able to leave the same day with a kickstart version of the XT600E? |

That's extra (LOL) It's a half hour job. If you have a gasket or if the old one stays intact. Seriously it's a piece of piss to fit. I could post it and tell you over the phone. |
I think to fit a kick start to the 600e you will need to get the crankcase machined where the shaft comes through the previous casing just had a rubber bung not so on the XT600e There are some pics on one of the German sites.

My 1997 XT600E has what appears to be a plastic bung where the kickstart is supposed to be and under it machined into the cover it says kickstart, seriously it can't be that simple , surely Yam didn't just remove the kickstarter itself and leave the mechanism inside?

Tom...twenty quid? plus postage? go on...you can even have my old casing:cool4:

And what do you suppose I do with an electric start casing:confused1: Give David Lampeth a ring for a quote, he will be able to give you the real value of the bits. 01205 871945 or 07850921570 |
