I am after a electric start system from a Honda TRX 400 that someone might be dismantling in the hope it will fit on my 2005 XR400

No I haven't seen that article the only one I have seen is the one that a company called XR Stuff sell, but they are in the UK so their kit becomes expensive.

cool

ill scan the article for you on monday

400EX parts are cheap and plentiful on US ebay, brand new cranks are like $250, and even complete bottom ends arent that bad.

cheers, mark

If you get stuck, try www.jeffreyhonda.com.au they sell a complete kit for around $2000.00. It's a lot of money but it just bolts on and you don't need to touch the crank and includes everything you need. I want to get one for my 96 model XR but can't afford it at the moment.

Cheers.

Can you just fit a better/auto decompresser Confused like I did to my kick start only 02 wr250 & wr426, out of the later electric start models?
It made them heaps easier to start & heaps LESS likely to lockup & stall. Very Happy
