I'm tired of people complaining about kickstart being a bad thing, I think if you cant kickstart an ATV you shouldn't be riding one if your that lazy, does anone agree??

 

What do YOU know about kick-starting?! The wee bit of effort it takes to get a Blaster spinning doesn't amount to a kick. It takes little more than dropping the weight of your foot on the lever. Same goes for a Banshee where you are only compressing 175cc's of air at a time. Electric start on either of these WOULD be ludicrous.
However, I'd be very interested to see an unsuspecting Blaster owner hop on a hot, stalled, 650cc fourstroke and proceed to kick start it. Then watching that person getting kicked-back (possibly resulting in a broken ankle) would be amusing to say the least.

 

or try kicking over a quadzilla. not the easiest bike to start.

 

i used to a 250x and it was easy to startand ive also had a honda 300 4x4 and the the battery was bad and i had no trouble with the kickstart, banshees are easy to start to, and somtimes on a large four stroke engine elect. start is needed (thats why they make them that way) , but some people are always complaining about kickstarting a banshee, blaster, or mojave

 

My buddie has a cr500 dirtbike, for the life of me I cant start it, Im 6'3" 165lbs and I just do not have the weight to kick it over, every time I try I bash my foot big time..

 

Yea I was surprised to see how easy it was to kick start my blaster when I first got it, I had been used to kick starting the 1970 Honda CL350 Street Scrambler I had that I was detailing and working on, the 350 was a pain in the *** to kick over when the battery died for the electric start because its a 350 twin, nice bike tho, just sold it for $800 in near mint condition, 8K miles
