The PO of my Bullet installed one of these (
https://accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/34789) kits on the bike. After all the stories I've read RE sprag failures I'm curious if anyone has had experience with this upgrade. Seems very few have because the kits are pricey. I've searched old posts a bit with no luck....do they work well and are they long lasting/dependable? Maybe I have the only one in use? Doubt it.
I use the kick start exclusively and use the decompressor to stop the motor. On a couple of occasions over the last couple of months I had a very minor kickback when starting and heard the sprag gears whining, so that's what has prompted my question and curiosity about the quality of the kit. Timing and mixture are good.
Not interested in deleting the starter as many have just yet. I like having the electric starter as a tool (compression testing etc) so I'm not in a hurry to lose it. Honestly, I didn't have a clue when I bought the bike that there would be issues with the e-start. Most bikes these days have electric start only...so, kick AND electric I thought was pretty cool. Now I know the electric was an afterthought. Oh well!
I posted on the MBR site as well if anyone is curious. :up:
