I have a vintage EX, and absolutely no problems. My buddy has the 06 electric 450R, and there is a trick to starting it. You have to know the drill, or you can have problems. It seems to be like my 04 kick starter, in that you can't give it any throtle at all on hot start.

The E start 450's are shearing a key way, when starting them. It has to do with the ring gear, I heard. If the starter is spinning, but the quad doesn't turn over, that is the problem.
