Is there a kickstart or what stronger batt?

[john willhoite]

since we have modified the motor the stock battery just wont start it.

Is there a kickstart kit for this bike?

What battery do you use in a Rage hi comp motor?

Thanks

Hey nice looking quad! You should enter that for the quad of the month somewhere.

Hi
my motor has held up great.
however as you said they dont start great
a few things that weve found out are keeping a battery tender on it you can leave it on all the time
also make sure all battery teminals are tight
the regulator rectifier has also gone bad as well as many starter relays(order a couple extra)
weve also replaced the starter once

another thing with the rage intake the whole air box was cut out
and the stock battery box is junk
it is fine for a trail quad but when your launching these bikes 100ft through the air they just break right at the bottom.
I highly recomend an aluminum one or atleast reenforcing the i stock one
i have broken these many times and when it breaks the battery falls strait down usually ripping the cdi and starter realay with it.

Im almost positve you cant put a kicker on it ive had the motor apart many times and on the clutch side there is no room for the rachet gear needed

you will also replace clutches more often with this motor as well
as of now the stock setup is the best Ive tried barnnet and the stiffer springs just wear right through the inner hub.
the stock springs will to just not as fast. (keep an extra inner hub and pressure plate with fresh springs and clutch plates in the trailer)

hope this helps
you can also talk to Dee at rage he'll probably say the same thing he told us about the redtifier.

thanks for the advice I will look into getting clutch parts tomorrow.

Have you or anyone tried a battery with more cranking amps?

[sno-x139]

no but like i said the battery tender make a pretty good difference
then maybe just for insurance put on like 6 amp charger in between motos

a way to test the starter is to hook it to a battery charger there is a connetion from the battery hook up + there then ground the
- to the frame or something put it on START and see if it will turn the motor over if not then the starter is probably bad.

one idea that we have always done is have a back up bike for your kid to practice on and then if you are at the track and need a part you have whatever you need

Sno,
Can you tell me what part# I need to order?

[manco47]

We use the same battery as the yfz 450. Its a tight fit but it has the power to turn it over. You can't use the top hold down cover, but with a small piece of foam on top its snug to the seat. Hope this helps

The stock battery absolutely had to be on the charger to start it.

Stuffed a ytz10s battery in the stock box (slight cutting stuff out)

Fires like a champ.

Drawback added 3lbs.

cool just watch that it doesnt break right out the bottom,if the seat doesnt push on the batt and it has room to move it WILL break through the bottom.
I had a custom box made out of aluminum it was finished today
post pics later.
