Hey it would be nice to either get rid of the battery and starter for weight saviongs or just have a backup for when the batteries too weak to start it.

it wouldn't!!!! where would you get the room to put it in, and it will weigh your quad down, (not much but enough) kick start could maybe get put it, you would have to get a set or something, depends if you get forward kick or back ward kick, the battery and starter is reliable to the point where you won't need that unless you are in the middle of no where, like in west virginia's back country "WRONG TURN"!

scary there,,


all though it probably could, but not a pull start

I really can't see why this would not eventually work. The engines are the same basis. Probably have too buy all of parts that concern the recoil and more too get the Raptor up too recoil specs though. After that, it would no-doubt look goofy on the Raptor and who knows how much weight you are adding?? A lightweight alternative that integrates nicely into the Raptors look would be more desirable. A back up kickstart would have been nice, but Yamaha did not take the time too incorporate that from the overseas bikes.

LMAO....that would certainly give the person plenty of leverage. But, the 1 way goes out so often even that would not help.

well is it enough leverage or are you being sarcastic. I think it could work cause how does the banshee do it? the raptor will be lighter with the battery out thats a good thing lol
