Adding a Kick-Start

hash1774 · 08-16-2009, 05:03 PM

this may be a dumb question, but can you add a kick-start to an 81 DOHC CB750F Super Sport if only came with electric start? i tried searching around with no luck, hoping this will bring closure to my quest haha.

Not really, not if the bike was not designed and built with it. Unless you just jury rigged something to go in and do it. Easier to just sit on it, have a buddy push from behind, and pop the clutch.

just fix the e-start. its usually a relay or a bad connection/switch/ground

I would not want to kick over a 750...
second or third gear, a little throttle, a few mph and drop the clutch... or as stated above, fix the estart

lol. belive it or not kickstarting a bike gets old after a while. i like to just sit down after a hard days work and hit a little button that brings my bike to life, but if im infront of some ladies i want to impress with my kickstarting, i do that

I kickstart my KZ1000 all the time....not really a problem honestly.

Worse is kickstart my Suzuki DR370......that think kicks like a mule.

......but my CB400F kicks like a moped.....so smooth and easy.

......an my Ural sidecar rig aint to bad either.

****, I need to start buying newer crap, all this kicking is pathetic.
