I was out ridding where i normally ride and this guy came over to talk to me. He asked me questions about riding (he was new to atvs) so then I start to look at his quad........ His 400ex has a kick start.... He had no idea about it because it was on it when he bought it used. Is it possible/ hard to put a back up kickstart on my 400?

it can be done,but you gotta use the stuff from the XR400,plus prolly do some mods,cause you'll hit your rear plstic and all,but i bet it save's some poundadge

And if it does kick backwards does it have a aftermarket wider case or can you tell if its a XR sidecase?

Sorry about all the questions I'm just curious. I think there was a thread on something like before, I not sure if it had any good info though.
Maybe you can get a pic. of and post it:)[/COLOR]

all dirtbikes kick backwards. called a "dirtbike kick"
my zuki quadracer kicked like a "dirtbike kick"
my 250r kicks foward.
