Default kick start on a raptor

since the raptors seem to have trouble with keeping starters i was wondering if it would be possible to put a kick starter in its place?

If it was possible it would require extensive machine work since the engine was never intended to have one. Now the that L&A one way is out the problems should be solved.

The Raptor is a Raptor becuase of what it has and doesn't have when you start wanted to make major modifications you really need to look at a different Quad that will satisfy your needs............that's what I did.

I don't think I would want to try to kick start my Rappy LOL. You would probably end up breaking your leg!

Ya...kick starting a 660 cc piston would be a hard thing to do! Especially if you have 12:1 compression like I do, it just wouldn't work lol Thank god for electric starters!

Hey Bubba,

I just noticed your sig says "offically fixed"!
So you got it up and running again? Thats awsome! How does it run compared to before?
