you say this because of the sparks raptors at FSW'S

 

yes, they had some FAST bikes at FSW's. They removed the battery and starter and had to pull it behind another bike to start it. They can help you with the electrical issues. maybe one of them can help here in this thread.

 

You've never killed your bike on the line, on a tacky track, during a pile up, after wrecking, etc? Just remember that you won't have a chance to start your bike back up. There is no way I would flat track without a starting system. Drag wouldn't be bad because you really only have one shot and the only place you could kill it is the starting line.
Last Friday night I raced on indoor concrete. I drew first lane choice and was excited because I knew I would have a good chance. The flag dropped and I let off the clutch too fast and killed the engine. I just kicked my banshee over and took off. I made my way into third place. I had some great lap times so I got 4th lane choice in the feature. If I didn't have a way to start my bike, I would have had to pull off the track and hope for a good run in the consolation.

 

thats a good point alky,i guess ill keep them on.
