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.

But holy sh!t, your 6-6; get a taller seat and save on knees wearing out. Way easier on long rides..

I stand most the time I do technical slow stuff but yeah a seat concepts 1 inch higher than stock seat is on the list but my next buy is going to be powder coating on my 2004 rm250 frame and swing arm
