Here's a question.
The bike I have is running a total loss system however it still has the starter motor for getting the bike going. I am pretty sold on ditching the weight of the starter motor and just bump starting the bike.
However I'd also like the advantages of a slipper clutch or at least get the KBTL working properly. But would this stop me from bump starting the bike? Are the two mutually exclusive?
Cheers
Max

Re: KBTL and bump starting
No, I've only ever heard of one person getting the original ZXR400 'slipper' cluthch to work, and I think that it was on this forum. I understand that on bikes fitted with proper modern slipper clutches you can still bump start. As far as I'm aware there are currently no slipper clutches that fit the ZXR400, but watch this space

Hi, thanks for setting me straight.
Are you working on something for the near future with regards to back torque limiting?

Re: KBTL and bump starting
I'm not, but I know someone who is in conjunction with a proper slipper clutch manufacturer; but I'd better add that at that time they hadn't overcome certain problems. If I hear anything I'll let the forum knowMaxticate wrote:Hi, thanks for setting me straight.
