Ya figured that out soon as you left the post on the OTHER site. Didn't look at the quad all that much till i read your post. Then noticed that the quad didn't match his signature. Plus its got the factory stickers on it.

I'd just leave it stock, messing around with Kickstarters can mess up your quad and may not let it run right.

You could say that about ANY part that isn't installed properly though...could you guys explain a little more? Are you referring to compression changes or?
I converted my old yfz to kickstart and immediately regretted it. That thing was so damn hard to start it wasnt even funny. And if i ever stalled it when the motor was hot, forget about getting it started for AT LEAST 15-20 minutes. Now im not saying the ltr will suffer the same fate, but all i know is that ive done the whole kick start thing and i think ill stay with e-start.

Did you have the cam-mod done? Not trying to drill you just curious...there's definitely a major difference between kicking a 4-stroke and kicking a 2-stroke. Alot of people have troubles getting use to the change

This is true...
Seems to me that you would at least need a mechanical pump. Can someone explain how that would work out? Not sure about getting the computer booted up. That's beyond me. But getting the pressure boosted up before hand like the electric pump does now when you turn the key on might be tough.....

This was discussed on here some time ago...I can't remember what all was said but it was some great informatino no doubt (may be able to find it with a search or two).
Quick snippet from an EXRiders interview with Gust some time ago:
That article can be found here:

Interesting debate no doubt, any other ideas?
Yeah I kinda remember the thread, but don't remember any solid info.
And, it's NO way a debate as to if it will work or not. There's a way to make everything work. But on the snowmobiles, the way I understand it is that they have mechanical fuel pumps so that the first two kicks builds up fuel pressure. I do remember seeing the kicker hole in the cases as well when I had mine apart.......
Then you have the need for a different decompression release, which isn't anything new... just adds more to the cost.
Just curious... you and kidsdad sounded like you knew it would work and I was curious as to how exactly. I'm sort of guessing it's not "cake" or the kits would have been out long ago.

OK, Actic Cat snomobiles have been battery-less and run EFI for years now. Guess who makes thier engines? Suzuki does. Takes 2 pulls to start the cat. One to manually punp fuel to engine, second to ignite. LTR will work the same way.

Oh it will work...I was talking to Dan @ DASA last week and he was saying that Gust had the kick on his but Jones couldn't seem to kick his over so he opted for the happy button...
So yea..it will work...now all ya need is the parts... :lol:
