They all took off to the shed to design the new buete starter roller  ;D
cheers
Ha Ha  - Yeah, unfortunately they forgot to come back and show us their new creations  :D

Power is possibly a problem as I don't have a generator.  I always have the ute handy (or something) so maybe one based on a starter motor is the go.  I like the concave roller idea thanks Lozza  ;)  Should help keep the bike centred in both directions.  I thought the starter motor would disengage when the bloody thing did eventually fire to avoid an embarassing launch into oblivion  ;D  Problem would be to find a gear that fits in with the one on the shaft of the starter motor.

Food for thought guys - thanks.  I reckon I could charge 5 bucks a go on race day and clean up  ;D ;D
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

9 in grinders have a tendency to burn out the armature due to the fact that they are not designed for initial load at the onset.
 We manufacture quality starter rollers battery powered. This way you can start in any location without 240v supply.
If you have the ability and equipment to produce your own set, then have a go. We wish you well.
If you do not have the resources, then check us out at you next race event.
 If interested, check out our webstore.

YOU NO THESE ARE ALL GREAT IDEA'S FOR SAVING THAT ENERGY FOR THE RACE BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STALL IT ON THE LINE OR DROP IT OUT THE BACK AND HAVE TO GET BACK FOR THE NEXT RACE, THATS WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GOING HOME. I HAVE RIDDEN A 750 MATTESE THAT FIRED AFTER TDC UP TO 750 RPM IT STARTED TO EASY BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ALL DO. I HAVE TRIED PVL AND BOYER ON PETROL, AVGAS AND METH NO DIFFERENCE, THE BEST SO FAR IS BOYER WITH A BATTERY FOR COLD START ONLY, THE NEXT THING IS PAZON PROGRAMABLE IGNTION THEY MAP EVERY 100 RPM FOR YOU AND NOT THAT EXPENSIVE.

He's on our committee, and is also a whiz kid at transporting bikes internally and internationally, now taking bookings for the 2011 Isle of Man TT if you fancy taking your own bike. Got enough cheek for another row of teeth, but is right onto it... ;)

Rooms a' plenty now Mikey.....bikes and parts are flying out the door to new owners with more to come,  a new storage space has opened up between the garage and the house and there'll soon even be a pushbike designated area in the mancave. This is day one of my new streamlined lifestyle ;D ;D. I do need a starter though, with my dicked out knees there's no way I'll be able to start my RT1 let alone the 750.

How's the first day of your (semi) retirement going my friend?
