Kick start doesn't bother me at all. The electric button is nice, but up till I bought the YFZ, all my bikes and ATVs were kickstart. Makes you good at jetting the starter circuit. Cause if you don't, it can be a real Biatch to start!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Why would they put EFI on a race bike? That adds quite a little extra chunk of weight.......

suzuki had electric start on it , but was scrapped to save weight thats why its a kickstart now.efi is so much better than carb.better holeshots with efi.why is everyone so scared of efi?efi has been around for years on streetbikes and now coming around on quads, good for everyone i think...the aftermarket company that make electric start for the 450r is something like goti,its in the new dirtwheels

Theres and article about it in the new Dirtwheels.

The article said it will come with race ready suspension and will have wider a-arms already that many racers bolt on.

Well, lets wait till it comes out to see if it will actually "blow everyone away".

I truly hope it does, but have learned a long time ago not to jump too soon. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Should be interesting to say the least.
Like I said, competition is good! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
