First post so please be kind
I'm looking seriously at the G5. Plan is to use the kick-start whenever possible.
Recently returned from India riding 1990's bullet through Rajasthan, had a blast!
Kickstarting was a breeze once you got the hang of it.
Compression release lever held, gently down on kickstart looking at ammeter for right position, kick. Easy. After a while, you sort of knew when piston was in correct position and the ammeter confirmed it.
I see the G5/C5 does not have an ammeter. I wondered if anyone had fitted an external ammeter to complement the vintage look and more importantly to be able to constantly monitor the charging state rather than the all encompassing malfunction warning light ?
