Electric start on xt600
 
Has anyone tried putting a electric start on a TT600?
I've read people having put a kick on a XT but not the other way around on a TT.

E-start
 
Not that I know of; it will basically mean swapping the engine: for E-start the crankshaft is longer, and you need different engine case.
Further, you need to put a battery somewhere, electrics. Not a small job.

Thanks for that Auke.
Tell me please other than the obvious power what would be the disadvantages of buying a TTR250 which has both e and kick as opposed to say a TT600 or XT600?

Its slower, will struggle with luggage and the engine and gearbox will wear much faster.

On the plus side, its light, very economical and has a lower seat...
