most people want kick start to take off 20lbs, becuz eletric start and batterys are about 20lbs, but i would rather have eletric, kick is for 2 strokes !!

I did it and raced it at the nationals against big bore stroker 450's they were scratching ther heads and kicking what ever was near. Some would look over in the staging lanes and on the starting line and laugh. But when the green dropped all they saw was number 7 they were in awe. Last year I was actually protested in the open class for being to small since you have to be 451 or bigger. 28 lbs dead weight 2 lbs 6oz recipricating weight total 30 lbs 6 oz. What is there to think about or discuss. If your not a pansey aren't affraid of a kicker and don't stall in every turn . Go for it. Curtis sparks was impressed with are effort. he spent 45 min. with my son giving him more ideas this past Saturday in Illinois. And we will be trying them also. He is very out going and great to talk to not like others who only try to push there products. Everything we used from Curtis Sparks Made a noticable difference in performance. We'll be at virginia next friday. ATVA Extreme dirt track nationals. Come out and race with the fastest riders in the country when it comes near you. If any one is interested in installing a kicker give a yell. Its not that hard once you've did it. I have a parts and labor list of what you'll need and what you'll have to do. And bought everything on Ebay. It can not be done on 2005 and up the cases are not machined for the kicker.
