Retrofitting an electric starter on a motocross bike?

Goodbye,

I am the proud owner of a Yamaha YZ250F (built in 2005).

Unfortunately, I keep having problems with my kickstarter, and I've had enough of it. I've heard that you can retrofit an electric starter (which I'd use just in case). However, you'd need a battery for that. I mainly use the Cross for roaring around in the woods and rarely get out on the trail…so, does anyone know if and how retrofitting an electric starter would work?

Thanks in advance!

If you need an electric starter, there are enduros derived from Motocross, such as the KTM EXC 250 or Yamaha WR 250.

Only driving in the forest there are penalties of EUR 20,000.

I'm a member of an MX club and we've invested thousands of working hours in a device hall and start tower. Really no desire that the route will be locked to us because a few people think that retaliation only applies to others.

You can't drive in the forest. This violates the forest law and takes fines up to €50,000.

In addition, if necessary, driving without a valid driving permit, which is a criminal offense.

As a forest owner, do you know the respective state forest law?

The whole thing also conflicts with the general right of assignment. Forests may be entered for recreation of cyclists, pedestrians and riders, motorized transport is strictly prohibited.

The Motocross has no insurance, if you're turning a pedestrian, the damage is like 100,000 euros. Little tip ambulance, hospital, rehabilitation, pain money, merit loss.

Again.

You have a Motocross WITHOUT PPE and WITHOUT road registration. Driving in public spaces is strictly prohibited. Public space also includes the Free Nature, Field Paths, Parking etc.

The "driving on private property" is extremely tightly defined, the whole must be completely satisfied with a lockable gate.

What you argue is really the desire father of the GEdanken. That the forest belongs to you is really pure wishful thinking. Forests are particularly protected and nobody can build a jumping hill.

And please don't tell me that you'll shoot your motocross to the forest, and don't ask the excuse that no one's disturbing it in your village. I'm old enough, that's what I heard in the forum a thousand times.

We don't drive a lot in the woods.

Would they, approach the horse, make up the car and wait until you get away, no problem. If, however, I'm chased by the cross machine for more than a few kilometers, then bangs.

if you read the questions here in this way, the whole forests would have to be full of MX, and from where does this mistaken Annahem, which is all allowed in the field.

I already had some riding accidents because of such idiots.

For over 1500€, yes

So rather not meaningful

Apart from that, the carburetor is simply set. If the one is correctly set as with my moped, the motor jumps at the 4th kick. Usually always on first or 2nd kick
