Keep the kicker on, will be installing one on my crf in the near future.  Had to bump start mine the other day with much appreciated help, but if I had been in the bottom of a dip somewhere its would have been a different story.  As for cars no longer having starting handles cobblers, we don't take cars where we ride bikes not everyone carries jump leads, if you can get easily to the battery that is.  As for the recovery services they will only recover from the tarmac  road so for me a kick start is a must especially if you do a lot of solo laning.

Never mind handbags at dawn, what about the AJP report.
Seems the way to go for TRAILRIDING.

 Agreed, so now Greenlanes is no more where is the nearest place that sells them?

 

Do Wheeldon sell them?

If the battery ever can't start the bike you can always bump start it

I do feel sorry for him though after buying a new bike and having to mess about like that although he isnt going to get a sales job at a KTM dealer.

 Yea right disbelief Mogwi where are you - please tell Rich just how easy it was to bump your XR when your battery went furious

 Oh yeah...first ever run out..blat flattery..no kicker..bottom of a hot lane not far from town..sweating like Jimmy Saville on a hospital visit.

KEEP THE KICKER.

Two new members who rocked up at our last meeting have bought new Ultrapassars - think they live in Newton Abbot.

Don't know if they are on the forum yet. Think they are friends of Gasser Edwards.

So we should get plenty of feedback one way or another wink

 Fingers211 and Hev both came on the christmas run. I can confirm the e-start does work well even when said machine has been dropped and turned upside down. The badgers did their worst but it restarted every time. I think they are coming next weekend. Good looking machines.

The AJP feels light and handles well.Had to raise the handle bars by apprx 20mm made it a lot better when riding standing up.

The standard gearing was to slow on the road,so went up 1 tooth on the front and down 3 on the back sprocket.

Other than the above i've been very pleased with the bike.  FORGOT TO SAY I'VE LEFT THE KICKER ON BUT NOT HAD TO USE IT YET.

P.S I enjoyed that video. May be because the bike is orange. HA.HA.

Looks like a great greenlining /TRF fun day bike to me nice and simple 4t electric start .Its what the Honda XR should of been why oh why did the UK never get the e/start versionno such a shame only a handful of the jap import e/starts about and only 250cc imagine a XR400 e/start perfectsmile bit heavy by todays standards I know but simple air cooling , no rads sticking out to break, change the oil once a year, oil the chain quick spray of WD40 and that's about it happy days biggrin

AJP Bikes

Having had a XT, TTR, DRZ and then a KTM I looking at getting another bike for green laning. The AJP looks a great bike and I know about the engine, assembly, parts etc but wondered if anyone if using one on here. Having had a test ride I was very impressed how easy it was to ride together with some nice parts and looks great. The servicing is long and 2yr parts and labour warranty which is a bonus.

Anyone riding one and could give some feedback on whats it like to live with (must be easier than my ex girlfriend so thats a bonus biggrin). Also at 5"8' I can reach the floor when I need to without struggling !

 

I remember seeing 2 on a ride out ages ago.

 

Thank you

Hi Mike

I hope you don't mind me merging your post with the existing AJP thread to keep things tidy.

We have two South Devon members with AJPs and they may be along later to give an update on their thoughts wink

Brian
