Im thinking about upgrading from my kfx 400 to the 450r this up coming spring, but i was looking for a electric start kit for it. Does anybody know if they make them yet???

lol...this four wheeler isnt for you if you are that worried about the electric start...just keep your KFX400 man..its not the electric start kinda four wheeler...its like wanting a dune buggy with leather interior and flat screen TV's....dont need it

Your best bet is to wait out Honda. There are a lot of rumors that Honda will be adding an electric start to the TRX450R now that they have released the CRF450X. I would think since the Yamaha YFZ450 is selling so well that we will see an electric start within the next two years.

Electric start is a waste. I like my kick start.

I would rather kick start my bike than worry about it not starting when the battery is dead.:D By the way the 450r is the easiest kick starting bike I have ever tried. Anyone that wants to try to kick start something hard......jump on my 250r and if you don't were a boot with my 250r you will get HURT.

Looks like the battery or some wiring close to it caught fire

That's the truth! After kicking the 250 over all these years I really can't see what is so tough about the 450. The thing takes so little effort to kick over. If it takes more than 3 kicks somthing is wrong, like me leaving the key in the off position! doh!!
