KDX Electric Start Kit
Have any of you guys you seen this? A buddy sent me the link. I think he might develop it for sale, not sure. The bike itself is pretty easy to kick so I personally wouldnt do it, but the guy deserves alot of credit for developing it.

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
It's rather simple to make if you have the proper machinery to get it done.
One thing I did think about was how is the shifting going to be on it? Hmm...

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
Even as easy as they are to start, I would definitly consider adding this to my KDX. More info would be appreciated.

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
Having leg issues sometimes makes it hard to kick even the majestic KDX. This would enable me to ride more and I'm all for that.

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
Would someone that is on facebook mind looking for the fellow with the electric starter kit and give us an update? I don't want to start anything new like facebook. I've heard too many things not good about it, but I am very interested in the kit if they are available. Only if you are already on facebook. THANKS!!!

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
Ditto! I would be interested in this as well. It would make the KDX a perfect enduro race bike!

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
Anyone out there that has a facebook acct willing to help research the electric starter kit for us 'old guys' ? I know it will be very appreciated by all of us interested in possibly adding this option to our already awesome riding machines. Keep on BRAPPING!!

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
I don't know if its the same person or not, but I reached out to a guy on Instagram a few months back and was able to track down kits for tthe estart kit being sold in Brazil. They were being sold on the "Mecado Livre" website for like $1600 bucks (after converting to USD). I had the link bookmarked, but its no longer working. They refused to ship out of the country, but I found a co-worker there willing to buy and ship to me. I really thought about it... but, in the end...I couldn't bring myself to buy the kit for the same price I bought the bike for. Its not that hard to kick. Looks like I missed the boat now!

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
Thanks for the info. I'm one of those riders that does not want to quit riding but I am having right leg issues. I hate to have to get off and start with my left leg each time. It's a b___h to get old and decriped[sp]. Recovering now from a broke bone in my right ankle and already had issues with my right knee. Enough crying. I'll keep looking. Thanks again. Keep on BRAPPING!!!

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
Sorry to hear of your troubles. Have you considered the 2020 KLX300R with electric start?

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
Yes, I have. But, as you know, they are hard to find even to look at one. That mc really looks good for someone like me except for the weight, but that is something I could live with, I think. Our dealerships here in north Texas are suffering from lack of inventory. I have not even seen one in person yet. Sad situation for the industry as a whole. Heres hopeing it gets better before it gets worse. THANKS!!!

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
Sadly, for E-start 2T bikes you're options are limited. The KLX is a nice trail bike, but a tad heavy. You might have luck looking for a used Estart KTM or husky, though the price is going to be higher. Other options are to go 4T like a TTR230...air cooled, estart and nearly bomb proof motor, though strictly a trail bike.

Re: KDX Electric Start Kit
Hard to give up the green machine. Been riding Kawasakis for a few decades now. Probably will be a few months before I can ride again anyway [ knee replacement], so I have time to look and decide if I will pursue the electric start route, whether it be green or other. Thanks all for the info and input. Keep on BRAPPING!!!
