elc. start for a 426 yamaha

[FireAndIce]

I have a friend that put a 426 Yamaha engine in his 250r and he has a very hard time starting it does anyone make a elc. start kit for this motor? Thank you, Frank

For one...If its a Yama motor this should essentially be in a Yama section...But to answer your question NO ..I HIGHLY doubt that there is a kit and if there is then I do not think that it would be rational to do...Why is he having a hard time...I mean Is there a problem with the bike or is he not big enough...

whoa there bro...he just asked a question no need to bite his head off..

excuse the NEWBIE

i think the answer you might be looking for is maybe swap that motor out for a yfz 450 or get a yfz 450 bottom end and u can use the e-start...but whats even more simple is to get the yz450f cam...i think there is something to do with the compression release or something like that...that could possibly be a reason why hes having a hard time kicking it...ive heard from a few people that the yzf's are hard to start

I belive if you put the 450 cams in the 426 it makes like a auto decompreton or somthing ...a guy up by me did that and it kicked over like a worn out 250r but ran great

hey ...he just said that !

I have a buddy with a 426 dirt bike and he has no problem what so ever starting it. Maybe he is missing the decompression lever?

I have a hybrid and they can be difficult to start, one thing maybe his carb angle if its in an R frame. Another even with a decomp lever its not that easy especially when they are warm. You can put a yz450f exhaust cam in but it requires some proper shimming and there is a full article on thumpertalk.com, or you can buy a hotcam with auto decomp for a little more it will kick super easy and you'll improve some performance. Hope this helps

I bought new new hot cams with the auto-decompresion for my yz426 hybrid. I had a hard time starting it when I first got it. I takes a little time to get used to it. Woodward specialitys sells the hot cams on ebay. I will let you know if they help when I put them in this week.
