need to know questtion

can a bike still start by kick start on run without a starter motor or do you need a starter motor for the bike to run

 

yes it can, the starter motor only turns the engine over in the same way the kickstart does.

 

As wobbly said it will be fine,my starter packed up months ago,more trouble than they are worth,so i just left it.

 

on a scooter i reccomend using the electric start as the kick start mechanism is quite fragile, not relly designed for constant use.
