cleanin up the bars

[JJs450r]

i wanna clean up the handle bars by takin off the factory kill, lights and hotstart switch, any advice? thinkin about going with either the tusk or msr clutch lever with hot start what yall think?

[pro-rider46]

i like the way the crf clutch perch with the hotstart on top, i would look into one of them

more info? where to get thanks

I had a Works Connection on my 04, then I put a MSR on my 07. The only difference is I saved $$$$$$ I'm pretty sure they're the same.. If not, they're awful damn close......

[pro-rider46]

its a stock crf clutch perch, the hot start is on top and is connected through the pivot bolt. idk if its on all years but my 05 crf has one, you can probably pick one up dirt cheap compared to the aftermarket atv special ones...

heres what they look like

ASV or ARC levers/perches are always a great choice. Removing the factory light/kill/starter housing and replacing it with a single starter button setup from a bike will help a lot. The other idea I noticed recently that I really liked is mounting the tethered killswitch (if you run one) in-between the bar clamps in the center of the handlebar. It is still easy to get to yet is out of the way.

thanks everyone im liken the crf, but the msr is nice as well, as for works ya a bit outta my price range :)

[TWISTED]

I wanna say the MSR cost me around $20, where the Works was $150........

[JJs450r]

ya price went up some on the msr, i think its 35 for the hole thing with hotstart, i found a nice crf on ebay but dont have a ebay any more :(

I run ASV levers and I love them. BUT!!! I bought them 3 years ago when I was young and dumb and thought that black levers were really cool and worth $150. (I think that what I paid) Anyway. I took them off my 300, put them on my R. Got a hot start cable from Colby over at C&D for $12 and I have been rocking that setup. I just need to get a new plunger assembly for my carb so i can use the hotstart again. Damn thing seized and broke....

[hendershot106]

run the msr.... they are great... and hold up pretty well!!!! i actually have one for sale 15$ shipped via paypal

if your gunna take your key out, dont just unplug it. i made the stupiid mistake and did that, it disconcectts the fan and i overheated it bad. just warning you cuz no body told me.

[JJs450r]

thanks, ya i already have the key relocated, i ordered a works knock off from colby today, with the pull hot start lever

[allstock]

asv is the way to go only prob with mine is the hole where the pivot bolt goes through wore out on mine and it got all sloppy but its a simple fix. dont get msr though i went through 3 clutch lever/perches of them they break so easy

[ProspectorJim]

do hotstarts only work on a bike with a kick start or can an electric start bike use one?

[JJs450r]

not sure im pretty sure my brothers 06er has a hotstart probably wrong though

[pro-rider46]

i dont think the e starts have hot start. my carb is a 07er and it doesnt have hot start, but you can drill a hole and put it in i think.

[Sjorge450R]

yea only the kick starts have them. It helps wit the pressure in the cylinder when you try to start it when its hot. The carbs on the 06+ for electric start models do not have hot start, but you can send them out to a builder and have them drill it. I don't recommend just drilling into your carb.
