Whoo Hooo Got my 06 Kicker

[Shawn H]

Went and picked it up today. Its Bad arse!!!

Starts 1st kick dont ask about anything else I have not got to really look at it I have to go to work soon.

1 thing I did notice it has a Hot start and when kicking it seems to kick easier than my Stock 05 bike for some reason.

[Shawn H]

Another

[Shawn H]

Hot start same set-up as 04-05 bikes

[JRP]

thats awsome man.. looks liek ur the 1st one to own on the site.

[Shawn H]

1st Amateur maybe I heard Borich and Natalie have had theres for at least 3 weeks now, who know whos else has them that cant tell:cool:

[KOG]

nice bike man wish i would of waited to get the kick start

[MAD450r]

That is why its easier to kick
less rotation, but I start my 04 sitting down and i weigh 130ish in gear. Im sure other's will still say they cant kick start them.

[Shawn H]

I couldnt wait so I bought both lol

E-start will be for practice and the Kicker will be raced.

I cant wait to tear it all apart tomorrow :devil:

Could be the shorter stroke. I can easily start any of them my 05 I can kick while standing on the ground next to it. The 06 is just that much easier so far at least.

[KOG]

you lucky basterd got two 06 450rs

[desratt]

another guy posted acouple days ago that he got his..

I'm still waiting to hear. called the dealer today and told them other dealers are getting them in and they said they would call me back. and they haven't yet

[laeger2fiddyr]

Congrats on the new bike! I am just surprised that you wanted a kicker when you race XC.

[One_Bad_400]

man you LUCKY DOG!!! i looked all over the place and no one could get me a kick 06 so i had to go with the electric... but i'm putting a backup kick on my electric.. so... no big deal i guess

[desratt]

how exactly are you going to put a back up kick on it?

[Toadz400]

That's awesome. Can't wait to see how it performs after you're done with it.

When are we going to ride together sometime? There's a few of us out here anxious to ride. You're only two towns over from me, so we'll have to get together sometime and ride. Just give me a call sometime on my cell if you want to ride (I'll PM ya' my cell).

[Shawn H]

Converting your electric is going to be very expensive......


As for Y I want the kick over E-start for xc racing is simple,less weight, Less electrical components to break,less components means more reliable,it starts very easy(much easier than the E-start) I have raced a kicker for 2 years and have had absolutely zero problems...

I'm very efficient in dead engine holeshots with the kicker.

Ill be fine I love it.....

Sounds good. I just got the pipe on my 450, sounds awesome but it needs to be tuned right. But that won't get done until I get my intake on and the cam mod done, which probably won't be for another few days.

Do you ride sled? I'm doing some riding around this area tomorrow late morning. Probably hit up some lakes around the area.

here i bought my 450R the survic manager told me he just got out of a class about teh 450R and what all they did to it and he told me how to convert it... he said its real easy...

[Shawn H]

lol

That was your Salesman talking!

Im talking from Knowing both Engines, And Laz from Gt Thunder also said it was going to be very Expensive,For 1 you will need a New CDI they are Different.You'll have a 1 GRAND in it before you know it!

No snow in Hudson?! I have at least 4-6 inches in my yard here in Star Prairie...we're expecting more sometime this week I believe.

As for my sled...I've never believed in spending money on a sled, I could never justify using it. But my cousin had an extra old sled he didn't want so I took it off his hands, just had to get it running. It's an '86 Indy 600, got it running and it hauls a** for an old sled.
