Electric start kit for TRX 90?

[Joecool1264]

Does anyone know where to get an electric start for the Honda 90? My son of 10,wants to go XC racing but the pull start is a pain. Thanks. Joe.

You could buy the Pep Boys ATV for $899. It has a cloned Honda 90 engine with electric start. They take the engine, battery, etc. off of it and put it in the TRX 90.

It would be quite a bit of work, but my guess is that the engine mounts are the same.

Assuming you already have the TRX90. Try Honda's website and see if that is an option on the new quad and go from there.

Assuming you havn't purchased a quad yet:
Go and buy the Pep boys quad and swap out engines is crazy???...if you wanted to buy the P.B. quad and take the rest of the money you saved from buying the Honda and dump it into the P.B quad..ie: suspension and all the other stuff to bring it upto the Honda level. Personally I think that is crazy!!! but to each their own.

I'll explain it again. The pep boys quad engine is basically the same as the Honda 90 engine except it has electric start. You could take the Pep boys engine out and bolt it straight into the Honda 90 frame. You could remove the battery and fabricate a battery box on the Honda 90. You could use the wire harness from the PBQ and put it on the Honda 90 with other needed components, CDI, rectifier, switches as desired, lights if desired, etc.

You could then put the Honda 90 engine in the PBQ frame and have two ATVs, although the PBQ frame, chassis is probably inferior to the Honda. But it would be a running machine (now with pull start). Or just use it for back-up spare parts.

The Honda 90 would then have electric start. Any Honda mods big bore kit, pipe, etc. could be put on the PBQ engine (Honda 90 machine). Even the transmission gears could probably be swapped from the Honda engine to the PBQ engine if desired, although the PBQ engine has reverse, which you may want to keep on the Honda 90.

Yes $899 is a lot, but most of you people spend that much on one shopping trip to mod your 90s.

If you don't like my suggestion offer your own, but as none of you "experts" were offering ****, at least mine is a solution which would be possibly without welding and special engine mounts, etc. of some other engine.

I am fairly sure Honda offers no 90cc electric start option at the dealers.

As was said to each his own. Decide for yourself how you would make the Honda 90cc electric start. Just don't comment on mine, in other words, STFU.

WoW!!!! JP had a point. You guys are all over him...no need.


No offense to you JP.

But it was kinda funny!!!

the pep boys quads and every other quad that says it has a honda clone engine is nothing at all like the honda the honda has 4 speeds and no reverse and a ***** load more b@lls .the companys say the engine is a clone because it slightly resembles the honda engine. nothing comes close when it all comes down to it

your comparing a pep boys quad to a honda...[IMG]http://ricoracing.netfirms.com/Smilies/******slap.gif[/IMG]
