[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 563, member: 4034"] [b]Le jambe de grenouille[/b] Whoops! Thanks, Stuart. I noticed the bike didn't want to be rolled backwards in gear, but hadn't twigged that it was the sprag clutch doing what is is designed to do. Luckily in each case i didn't persist, instead selecting neutral. So I didn't break the shear pin...... I bought the complete kit from Francois, to avoid having to modify the original bits. The only difficulty i had was with wiring, mainly because it is a blind spot for me, but also because i had already fitted my ignition switch under the battery platform and space was limited. Otherwise the kit went together perfectly, and works perfectly. As Francois says, it isn't an answer to a bike that won't start anyway, but if one IS unlucky enough to stall in traffic then one is underway again immediately instead of having to build a defensive perimeter to clear enough safe space to kickstart it again. I LOVE the instant start from hot: it starts better than my wife's car. And i may have delayed the need for a hip reline by a decade...... [/QUOTE]
