Warning!

Here are some things that you should keep in mind before purchasing this kit:

1. Be sure your engine is in good working order, it should be easy to start, this kit alters the way the engine is started. With the engine in the stock configuration, the faster you pedal when you engage the clutch, the easier the engine is to turn over. With this kit, when you engage the clutch you are now directly turning the engine over with your pedals. The speed of your bike now has nothing to do with turning the engine over. Only pedaling will turn the engine over. If your engine takes more than 20 feet to start you may consider tuning your engine before purchasing this kit.

2. your rear shifting mechanism should be in excellent working condition, getting stuck between shifts while pedaling can be an annoyance but when connected to an engine can be startling
