There is a electric start kit you can buy, but I forget who sells it..

Does anyone know?

Goki makes the aftermarket kit. It seems like it would be too much effort to retro fit an 06 electric starter to an 04-05, the center case is completely different.

The entire engine is different!

The engine is different, but I'd bet it's closer than trying to fit a 426 motor in a 250R frame or any other hybrid.

Anything's possible.....give it a shot, and write a review!!!

Our buddy Tom Wright, who just secured the GNCC vet and C classes has the Goki E-start on his 05'. From what i hear, its worked really really good. It increases the oil capacity also.

You race two seasons of GNCC and take first in 90% of the races and post a pic of your quad. Then we'll see what yours looks like. Tom Wright would ride right over you if he had to :macho. Toms a great guy and rides really really hard. He can also mx with the best of em'.

don't get your panties in a bunch, jersey.
i know 2 seasons of GNCC would wear on the quad quite a bit!!!
but looks like he didn't even try to clean it up!!
i'm sure it could look better than it does in the photos........to each his own.

hey, that Goki conversion would look pretty good with your 22's, Mike. ;)

Guys it really doesn't matter what your quad looks like. It's how you ride it. We all know this.

As for the dirty quad pics, I was merely stating the first thing that came to mind, when I saw the pictures. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought it. I apologize to everyone I have offended.
My quad is not kept extremely clean, either. But, I do try to keep the plastic wiped down.
