Just got the 150 , i believe they had kickers
Did they just remove the kick arm and i can buy one
and put it back on ?
Or should I just remember 30 yrs ago - side of road -
unsuccessfully trying to start a bike with no elec starter ?

The new ones don't have the kick start lever anymore. If used incorrectly, they could crack the transmission case.

There some people who have them and are successful in getting the engine started, but it requires a technique that most can't master. Either they can't achieve a start or they break the case.

The best bet is keep your battery charged with a Battery Tender Jr, or the equivalent.
