how do i make my kick start bike become electric and kick start?
i have a 1981 Yamaha xt 250 endro i am tired of kick starting it and would like to purchase a electric start where could i buy one and how much would it cost and would it add any value to it.
An easier and cheaper soloution would be to upgrade to electronic ignition. You’ll still have to kick it, but never more than once. I own 2 antique harleys. A 42 and a 55. I run Mallory electronic ignitions in both and they start first kick every time.
There is no simple way to add electric start to this bike. Your best bet is to get something that is not 30 years old. Sorry man, but your bike’s become obsolete, it is time to upgrade.

if the bike didn’t have an electric start to begin with, then it will cost more then the bike is worth to install one it might even take replaceing both or at least one of the side cases in order to install the starter to do it
Easy … not! You’ll have to redesign the gearbox and clutch.
