ponyjr Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Well, I've been toying around the idea of dualsporting my Yz426. Once on the road going to save up for SM wheels. I received my ElectroSport Darkar kit today. Well built kit, very complete. Comes with wiring, headlight, horn, controls, mounts, turnsignals, taillight, ignition switch(!) and more! Now all i need are some street tires, and a WR stator/flywheel(anyone have one?). I'm excited to get this thing on the streets and have some fun! 50hp(ish) and 250lbs(ish), should be fun!

buildit Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 It's a rocket. I'm still waiting to hear about if the stator I got for my Baja kit will be replaced since the windings failed. If not it looks like I'll be looking for a used wr also to steal a stator from.Here's what my kit looks like. Battery is stored behind the head lamp.

c7fx Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 My neighbor converted his CRF450x into a street legal Dual sport. What a blast to ride. I keep telling him he need to get some motard wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I would do this if they weren't so dang tall. And 2fiddys that aren't so dang tall are so dang wimpy. Lack of power isn't an issue in the Winter, it helps stay upright. But it doesn't help when trying to get out of town to some roads. I want something to ride anytime, anywhere, all year round. I think those are called BMWs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you have to disconnect the ground on the stator backing plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the electrical you'd have to ask holy caveman. Might check Cavemanriders.com and post under ask the mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponyjr Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Well, of course it's not a bolt on kit. It won't fit with my aftermarket fatbar triple clamp, and I'll need a slightly longer brake line for the front. Shouldn't be hard to fix ether issue.

Shouldn't be hard to fix ether issue.I was pretty surprised at how easy the attachment was on mine. Even the front break switch fit on without issue. Just some minor drilling to run the wires in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some minor drilling to run the wires in the rear.I think it's mostly because i have YZF high bars, and the aftermarket triple clamp is slightly taller. Still can't believe how nice the kit is.

ponyjr Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Got the Title switched from off-road to on-road today. Pretty easy really. Just filled out a little piece of paper and payed $18. Have the stator and flywheel ready to install. After that its a done deal. Should be riding it by thursday (weather permitting).

buildit Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Dude i will totally Dig for $20!!! The thing might only do 80 though....I should hope so! I'm a lot bigger than you and mine will top 80 pretty quick. Sounds like an oversized chain saw on nitro doing it:D Scariest part is doing it on knobies, get a little rear drift at times.

ponyjr Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Ya i think it hauls balls!! i rode it around the parking lot a little and can't keep the front wheel down. I have a set of Avon rr's on it, hooks up ok, will be a lot better after i put S/M wheels on it with a 140 or 150 out back. Right now its only a 100/90-19 (pretty skinny but better than a 120 knobby). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
