[QUOTE="eglijim, post: 91884, member: 441"] Don't be sorry, apologies, if you think any comments were inappropriate but you did get a lot of hopefully constructive information before you clarified the situation with your machine. One point that may be of use is that if you go ahead with the electric starter I believe two things are necessary for their longevity and performance. One , an ignition system which will prevent kickback at low rpm and two the biggest high output battery you can possibly fit along with suitably sized cables. My road Egli (1150cc and in a state of tune about as high as practicable for road use) was marginal with a good quality 12 AH battery , the bike has NO kickstart facility as I cannot risk further injury to my knees. The bike has a Bob Dunn system driving directly to the mainshaft and works perfectly now I run a 17 AH sealed Red Top high output battery. It is possible that newer Lithium batteries will work successfully but are likely to be very expensive to get the level of reserve power I enjoy. Assume you intend to use some form of high output 12 generator ?. [/QUOTE]
