Why did they do away with kick starters and decompression levers ? All the battery has to do is then is squirt fuel and provide sparks.

They removed the kick start from Drz model at some point. I had start issue at top of a hill on Dave. No worries thinks oi ... Bump doon the hill .... Not a chance. Oi dragged the tyre doon hill.


Valve lifter and kick a beautiful thing.


Would have been grateful for either a valve lifter or electric start option on me 80s air cooled KTM 500 ,◉⁠‿⁠◉

Food for thought....wonder if mine would bump start with a new cam minus the valve lifter..

Probably yes as its fairly low compression and a long stroke
