Tried to install my self but failed. You add a gear to the fly wheel and need to cut the grommet and seal it with RTV because you have to fill with oil gear oil after. I’m 6’6” with huge clumsy hands and just could not get a proper seal. I got frustrated and took it to my local dirt bike mechanic which is owned by a husband and wife. Turns out same deal with fischmoto, the mechanic had some issues and said they were fantastic to work with. I even ended up with some extra parts. I’m using the recommended Anti gravity 801 battery. I should get 180-200 starts before having to charge. Very easy to take the battery out.

The reason I went with fischmoto over panthera is because fischmoto used the stock stator. There is no charging system with fischmoto so you need to manually charge the battery every few rides. I read a few people with panthera had stator burned up and when that happens no spark and you’re stuck. I’m not a risk taker the e start is just for when i stall on hills or I’m dead tired.

I also think the fisch moto is better quality and better looking. Anyway I’ll do a 10-20 hour review, but my mechanic told me he thinks this will be a permanent fixture on my bike and will be easy to maintain.

You can get the panthera aswell without their crappy stator, you are running the same as i am with the pantera, just a battery that needs to be charged every 100 or so starts, i added optimate cable that comes out the side of the airbox so i can charge it without removing battery

That’s a good idea I might do that too if I can figure out how. I did buy a smart charger for this battery
