Is there an earlier year that had a kicker? This is my first Suzuki build. |

Title: Re: Kicker Post by bobert_FSO on 08/25/13 at 15:21:23 You can't eliminate the battery. The Savage has an alternator and an electronic ignition module, not a magneto and points. |

Oh but you can.. If you have a kicker you can buy a little regulator for 20 bucks at any auto parts store.. I cant remember what it is called but you see them all the time on old mopeds and older bikes that are kickstart and still have headlights and other electrical parts |

What you are talking about is a magneto. |

Title: Re: Kicker Post by bobbed on 08/25/13 at 15:51:33 I am not talking about getting spark to the cylinder I am talking about a little regulator that holds a little bit of charge in it while your bike is running. NOT A MAGNETO or POINTS....... I am not talking ignition. |

Title: Re: Kicker Post by WD on 08/25/13 at 16:31:31 You mean a capacitor? Or the voltage regulator off a Kohler engine, which works great for bikes with points and originally shipped with selenium plate voltage regulators. On a bike like the Savage, unfortunately, they aren't worth 2 cents. Pull the Savage lump, mod the frame for a DR engine swap. Or a GN400/450. Even an early GS 400-500 twin. |

Title: Re: Kicker Post by bobbed on 08/25/13 at 16:34:08 You are getting me WD..... That's it...dunno why so dumb founded today THX for the input. So go with a dr huh? would it be easier to just start off with a different frame then? |

Title: Re: Kicker Post by Serowbot on 08/25/13 at 16:45:45 If yer' swapping the motor and the frame.... yer' using a different bike... Yes,.. that's the easiest way to get a kick start... |

Title: Re: Kicker Post by bobbed on 08/25/13 at 16:53:47 I don't really wanna swap to a new bike I wanna do a Suzuki build just looking for an easy way to throw a kicker in.....sounds like there isn't one... I can stay with electric start I just am looking to consolidate the wiring down to tail stop start and maybe turn. I thought by going with a kicker would be the easiest way to get rid of all that extra wiring. guess not will just have to scratch my head and invent some stuff I guess thx for the input |

Title: Re: Kicker Post by WD on 08/25/13 at 17:00:56 I've been on Savage forums since 1998, and can't recall anybody successfully adding a kicker, converting to a proper generator, going with a magneto, or making points conversions that actually work. My Savage is primarily yard art. I'm in the home stretch, maybe, of a rework that started in 2006... I cut all the "excess" wires out this afternoon to force myself to finish it up. Everything else, beside the Versy tensioner, is done or almost done. My current "give a crap" project is a kick only, one coil/condensor/point set per cylinder 1963 Honda Scrambler turned TT race bike, that I put the lights back on. Will be tearing the engine down after harvest season to see how bad a hit my wallet is going to take. Bike's locked up tighter than a nun's knees... ::) |

Title: Re: Kicker Post by Charon - FSO on 08/26/13 at 13:05:43 Funny - when I see the word "kicker" I think of an outboard motor. |

Title: Re: Kicker Post by greenmonster on 08/26/13 at 13:52:22 I think of sub woofers. |

Title: Re: Kicker Post by jcstokes on 08/26/13 at 16:44:42 You see the guy's leg move, but I would ask whether there hasn't been a little sound editing or dubbing? |
