Beta Xtrainer - Entry level 300cc 2T Enduro

[ZX-12R]

I haven't tried to start mine without a battery but I have had a couple of occasions where the battery was discharged to a point that the bike wouldn't crank at all but would still enough to run the fuel pump. It fired up immediately with the kick starter.

[ZX-12R]

After quickly looking around, it appears the KTM EXCs will not run without a battery but you can replace the battery with a large capacitor to filter the power to the ECU and with some rapid kicking, you can get the bike to start. That's most likely how the battery-less bikes operate. Now I may consider making an emergency filter cap to keep in my backpack.

FWIW, Dave put a kicker kit on his daughters XT.... he claims it's never been used (or needed).

Just make sure you can lock up your Rekluse clutch in the woods if you have e-start problems.

Shhhhhh don't mention the rekluse in here.......you may be branded as a cheater LOL

It's a sick holeshot device!

[slowkermit]

Cheater!

[Chippertheripper]

My bike hasn't had one in it in the better part of two years...
And I have a replacement ready to drop in whenever I feel like cheating again.
I like the experience of my current setup enough to not really want it at the moment...but someday I might like a stall proofer.

I'll be shopping for one in a couple months..no promises tho..haha

[scottieducati]

I was hoping to pick mine up before I'm out of the country for a bit, I leave in 3 weeks. I reckon it'll be coming in in two more weeks, just doubt I'll be able to do anything about it till I get back towards the end of April. Ugh...

[nhbubba]

I have a garage. Free storage for a limited time, just for you. PM for details.

[scottieducati]

Ha, as do I... and a shed... storage ain't the problem. Just bummed I'll either JUST have gotten it or will have to wait to get it, and won't be able to really ride it for another few weeks.

[Paul_E_D]

Are you coming to Hatfield to get it?

[gixxer72]

Maine Cycle has them in stock if anyone else is looking. Pretty cool bikes!

[scottieducati]

I presume as such....

Are you coming to Hatfield to get it?

[Paul_E_D]

Let me know when. I live right down the road. We could even break it in...

[typeone]

keep me posted on that break-in date, might be able to join.

[Paul_E_D]

Shared album - Paul Duval - Google Photos The track as of late...

[scottieducati]

So by "break it in" it will entail "explain to Scottie wtf to do with this thing..."

[Paul_E_D]

I will point you in the correct direction of travel if that's what you mean?

[scottieducati]

At'll do...

[typeone]

wow, track conditions look awesome. dry! how about the lower stuff? you still lap that?

EDIT: i had lolz at my 'lower stuff' question hey'oohh!

[Paul_E_D]

Yeah, nice and dry for the most part. The lower tracks are drying out as well, but in need of a good day of clearing blowdowns etc. Nothing too big, but a lot of little stuff to clear.

[scottieducati]

Looking to make it out to their open house this Saturday, Dave is building her as we speak.....

Not sure what the weather of late will do to plans to get in much if any riding, but I'm down for whatever!
