Gel Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I've owned a 2004 TT600R for the last year. I use it for commuting approx. 20miles 3 or 4 times a week. It always sounds laboured when starting although once started it runs fine. I've just had a full service but this has done nothing to make it a more confident starter. It's worse in winter and if left for more than a week it's touch and go whether it'll start at all. It's only got 6k on the clock. I'm aware that previous/original models were fitted with a kick start. Is anyone aware whether or not it's possible to fit an e start 2004 model with an aftermarket kickstart? I'm not too mechanically minded being limited basics servicing etc. Any ideas would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted March 5, 2007 Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2007 If there's a provision for a kickstarter on the right side engine case (usually blanked off)..... I think you can buy the whole assembly from Yamaha .....which should only require the removal of oil & that right side case with minimal tools, to install......not too tough really. My brother's got a DR650 & looking to do this same mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
