ELECTRIC START VS. KICK START?
Sam K
I LOOKING TO BUY A USED CRF 150F WITH AN ELECTRIC START AND THEY ARE HARD TO FIND AND USUALLY MORE EXPENSIVE. I AM WONDERING WHICH STARTING METHOD IS MORE RELIABLE IN ANY SITUATION. CAN A ELECTRIC START FAIL WHEN WATER HITS IT? WILL BE DOING TRAIL RIDING AND A LITTLE TRACK.
Answer
The ideal thing, would be for the bike to have both electric start, and, a kick starter. So, if one or the other would fail, you could still fall back on the one that would still operate. By the way you will be using it, I am going to assume, that, it is a dirt bike, rather than a motorcycle. Generally, most trail bikes have both electric start, and a kick start. as a back up, in case of trouble. Although, some do only have just the electric start, or, some only have just the kick start. But, the ones I have seen, have both electric start, and, kick start. If the one that you are looking to buy doesn't have both the electric start, and, the kick start, I would leave it be, and, try to find one, with both electric start, and, kick start. I know, that they are made this way, and shouldn't be all too hard to find, either. The reason I say you should have both, is this... Say you are out on the trail... Miles from anyone, or anywhere... And, you get some water into your electric starter... Or, for that matter, the ignition system, itself... Once water splashes in there... You could be in trouble. The engine may quit, and, when you try to restart it, nothing happens... Cause the water has ruined the electric starter. Or, the entire ignition system, itself. It doesn't usually happen, but, it could, and, that would be just when it would happen, was when you were miles from no where. At least, having the kick start could save you the trip of having to walk a long distance. Generally, the bikes that are used for trail riding, and track use, usually are kick started, but your foot can get real tired... Having to push that lever, all day. And, there is always the chance, that the kick start lever could break, as well. Then, you would have to rely on the electric starter. So, what is a person to do ? Either way, you could get stranded. There are many things that can, and, do go wrong, at the least possible best time. If it were me buying the bike, I would try to find one with both electric start, and kick start. If that wasn't possible, then, I would opt for the kick start. There is less of a chance of water ruining vital electric parts. And, a kick start lever is going to be way less expensive to replace, than a electric starter. However, if you do get the electric starter, apply sicilone caulk to all areas where water and other stuff can get in. The clear colored sicilone cailk works best.
