my parts book does not show any parts or part numbers to do this
even though it may have been planed when engine designed
may have been cheaper to make it electric

A kickstarter is useful

Damn, I had just managed to discover the importance of a kickstarter the hard way 2 weeks ago.
My starter broke down.. (something concerning the freewheel starter and drum.. or something like that). On the way to work and I ran out of gas. After a fill up, the bugger just won't start. I had to find a runway with a long steep gradient to get the momentum to jumpstart the bike 'cause pushing (even with 3 guys) proved fruitless.
That was when I really wish MZ could provide the kickstarter

i have been in side mine twice for the freewheel thing
and the way things are made i think the kicker would die also
when the freewheel craps just from looking at whats in there
and what you would have to be added to make a kick work
