There is a method you can use to bump start a Rekluse. Get the bike rolling in gear so the tranny is hooking up then kick the kickstart fast enough to engage the Rekluse and it will start. Takes a little practice on timing but it works should the bike not want to start with kickstart alone. It is a little tricky while your stalled rolling down a technical trail, but then that's the magic of the Rekluse, it never stalls.
ish...lol. Thinking next fall I might pick one up, but I want to test ride a few first.
Dave, I'm not really looking for more power. I like the fact that my 230 will never get away from me, although I would like to move the powerband down a tad with a larger rear sprocket. Only reason I am looking into a different bike is to get one with a more dirt oriented suspension. Problem is that here in NJ, I am so limited on what can be plated. You just cannot plate a "dirt bike" anymore. They even cracked down on bringing in out of state plated dirtbikes. So basically yamaha, kawi have there 250 dual sports, or KTM, Husky. Thats my only options. I'm looking at KTM 4stroke 250's right now. Going 450 opens up alot more options, but I am not looking for more power as I ride really slow and conservative/
..if i was back on a four stroke it would be my first mod..they make you faster!
