i have a 50cc quad bike and the pull start is not great, i was wondering if there was a conversion kit or if it was even possible to change it into an electric start?

Answer
Help full to know make and model, year of quad. For instance - does the maker of your pull start model also make a electric start model? do the engines interchange? then yes it is easy - perhaps expensive- swap of engines. Some atvs 50cc are considered mostly toys and use a basic scooter engine and CVT drive, some just have a centrifugal clutch and chain drive with a stub shaft available to put on a Delco starter/generator unit as used on early garden tractors. What do you have? Chinese made toy with strange made engine or if lucky Honda clone engine? Yamaha with PW50 drive train? You can make any pull start ATV into a electric start model- got $$, welder handy? As I noted- a maker of basic and electric start models might be real easy- and if electric start parts or engine are in a salvage yard might be cheap. Otherwise- get back to us with more info or save money for a name brand ATV with electric start like Honda or Polaris..

I am 23 yrs. old, 5'7....108lbs....I am thinking about a KLX 140...mainly because of the electric start...I have only rode quads--Raptor 350, never rode a dirt bike......any suggestions would help!

Thanks!

Answer
Great choice. You could also look at the TT-R125/230 and CRF150/230, but if you like the Kawasaki just go with it.
