Removing electric start?

ttraynor · Jan 26, 2016

Looking at an 2016 AXYS 800 SW X and dealer is baffled that they can remove E/S (per my wishes) while leaving battery/solenoid intact and still have the IDD function properly. i believe this is true as my 2015 SW S was ordered without ES and with IDD and functions fine. (Then I replaced the 13-pound anchor with a 2-pound lithium--no issues).

Anything to add that I can tell the dealer in going ahead with this removal?

Thanks

So I think I'm going to go with the lithium battery and save MOST of the weight so I can update IDD on the sled.

Some great discussion--and we are just talking about losing FORTY POUNDS--all told with the Bikeman pipe/can--right? So that's 8% if the sleds weight--GONE. OFF THE FRONT. Wheelie nice!

I don't stud it either. Small storage bag only. BTW--Selling the big rack, pack and sidebags that came with it.

The big thing is the rotating mass.
What sense does it make to have a lightweight crankshaft then bolt a heavy estart clutch on it?You are back to the weight of a full circle crank.

This is why I always laugh at the cat guys that brag about their 800 power on the dyno.
They need 10 more hp to start with to get that big heavy cat clutch spinning.

Is it OK to remove the clutch gear ring without harmonic balance issues? I'll likely send the ckutches to Indy Dan off season for balancing anyways.

I would say no. It was balanced with that ring on it.

Replace the clutch altogether, and keep the current one for whoever you sell the ES to (or put it back together if you're selling the sled).
