can you convert total loss?

[Paul]

hey eveyone this is my first post. i am wanting to get a zxr 400 race bike but i want one without total loss but all race bikes i see for sale are running total loss. How could i wire up the button start back on

Thanks
Paul

Total loss is no charging system.most should still have starter and start off button you just need to charge the batt more often.

Thanks, i thought it meant that there is no ignition and you always had to bump start it

hi,what is the advantage of a total loss system?
cheers

weight reduction and the engine will spin up faster (removal of the crankshaft mounted rotor). Wiring loom then simplified and no need for a regulator as there is no charging currnet to regulate (more weight saved)

will the battery not go dead?

yes

Thats why u have to charge the battery morr often.

Whenever mine is not on the track, it is on the Optimate.
The battery will not just discharge, but become unusable if you don't charge it regularly. I used to just put the charger on every few days or so, but now just leave the Optimate on.

i think thats just a bit to extreme of a mod for me

[Davw]

Not extreme at all but only worth doing if you are racing otherwise a total pain in the butt if you are just road use
