Default i want a backup start

Is there anywhere I can get a backup kickstart or pull start or my pred? I think it was dumb only being desined with an electrict start. What happens when your battery is dead in the middle of nowhere?

I also wish it had a kickstart. I had the battery go dead in the middle of nowhere already.

Mudmaster, I don't believe you can push start a quad with a centrifugal clutch. But you guys could carry a small home made, lite weight jumper cables. Go to Lows and get your self 8 feet of 10-12Ga. two wire lite weight extension cord, and put some small clamps on it maybe from Napa auto parts. Or even alligator clips. And zip tie it underneath some where to the frame. And as long as your riding with someone that has a lighting coil you could probable get it going again. Or maybe even a passer by will give you a jump.

Thank you. I was under the impression for some reason that the Predator had a CVT. I'm in the market for a new or like new 80-90cc and I'm still learning who has what on their quads.

This really works? Thats cool. Do you have to be rolling dowhill kinda fast or just have someone push it at jogging speed?
