Up to 50% offMEGA Sale – EVERYTHING must go. Really.
Our warehouse in Hamburg-Barmbek has suffered serious roof damage! The situation is serious: the roof and warehouse ceiling need extensive repairs as soon as possible. To do this, the entire warehouse must be cleared at short notice. For us, this means: we have to clear the warehouse in the shortest possible time. EVERYTHING MUST GO! For you, this means: from October onwards, there will be restrictions on dispatch. But before that, you can benefit hugely. You’ll get 20–50% off items available for IMMEDIATE DELIVERY. It’s a win-win: an empty warehouse moves faster – and you can make real savings. Unfortunately, this clearance sale isn’t a marketing gimmick like those run by mattress or carpet retailers. It’s the harsh reality. The next few weeks will be tough for us – it would be great if you could support us with your understanding, patience and plenty of bulk buying!

E-Starter-Kit 'XSTART' Basic Set with Battery Pack (replaces original tool box, battery is not charged by vehicle generator)

Application: XT500
 

Nuts & Bolts 'XSTART' Retrofit E-Starter

The 'XSTART' includes a 1kW starter with alternator cover, adapters for the original magnet wheel, freewheel, drive chain and starter relay, all the necessary accessories and detailed, illustrated instructions for quick and easy installation. The lithium battery (LiFePo4) is located in a housing modelled on the original toolbox and is mounted in the position of the original toolbox.

Depending on the temperature, the battery can complete up to 100 starts with one charge. Afterwards, it must be recharged with the enclosed 230V charger. The battery is not connected to the vehicle's electrical system.

The starting current of the starter is 300A, with a peak current of 600A, the 4S lithium battery has sufficient reserves. The temperature range of -20°C to +60°C is absolutely practical. The battery can be charged either on the vehicle or at home, and disassembly is done without tools. The manufacturer recommends charging the battery after every ride as standard.

A new alternator cover gasket is of course included with every kit. A wheel counterholder item 20114 is included for easier and damage-free mounting of the pole wheel adapter. The magnet wheel does not have to be dismantled.

Delivery only possible to EU countries.

Required accessories:

  • Gear lever with more distance to the housing than the original foot gear lever, e.g. item 40455.
  • Accessory engine guard, if the large original engine guard is used and is not to be modified, here are various designs to choose from. e.g. item 60607, KTH-10079B, KTH-10077

FAQ:

Is it necessary to pay attention to the TDC sight glass in order to start the motorbike?

No, when using the starter, the position of the piston/camshaft is irrelevant.

Is it necessary to re-adjust the ignition when installing the XSTART kit?

No, the installation of the kit does not require any adjustment of the ignition, the magnet wheel is not dismantled.

The electric starter is to be regarded as a starting aid instead of the kick-starter and cannot compensate for any other vehicle defects (e.g. faulty ignition system)

My vehicle starts poorly under certain operating conditions. Is the XSTART the solution to my problem?

Is it necessary to pull the deco lever when using the starter?

Yes, it is recommended for reducing the power consumption of the starter motor and the battery.

Can I charge the battery without removing it from the motorbike?

Yes, you just have to loosen a rubber plug on the new 'tool box' and plug in the charger.

Does the e-starter also work with old 6-volt electrics?

Yes, the e-starter circuit is separate from the vehicle electrics and can therefore be combined with both 6V and 12V electrics.
