locogato11283 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I kick start at 24DM in billet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I hesitated for years because I was scared to break stuff. However, there are lots of 10 mil motors being ridden reliably in several applications. And I'm glad I made the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 The bigger motors 10+ are not really that bad to kick over. You just gotta do it correctly. It's not like a stock motor where you can kick it over carelessly without even paying attention and half ass it with flip flops on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pp13bnos Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 First get use to starting old CR500s, or LT500s, then starting a 10mill is a piece of cake. Honestly a 10 is pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawa110 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 All about that compression stroke. Dad taught me how to kickstart his vintage pan head Harley when I was 14...(if you can start it you can ride it type thing). That think jacked my ankle and tossed me around until I figured it out. Cr500 ain't nothing after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCO794 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I know it's not quite as bad on a quad but what about the vibration? (assuming bar weights, aftermarket engine mounts etc are used) Do you think a heavier billet case would help with the vibes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the crank is built correctly and pistons are weighed and balanced you shouldn't have any more vibration than a stocker. Usually don't start getting vibration that I've seen until you get to about 85mm bore and above and still isn't half as bad as say a cr500. Most bikes vibrate like a mofo from poor balancing and counter balancing(single cyls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Build a 24DM. They're smooth off idle all the way to the upper RPMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMX are super reliable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
