Here goes. Looking for some info on deleting the starter from my xs2. I'm going with just a kickstart. I've read several of the forum topics on this but I'm still unsure, so I'm BAAAACK to see if you folks can help me comprehend.
Today, I pulled the (I'm using terminology from my Clymer manual, some profanity, some English, maybe some Arabic...) geartrain cover (#23 in my book). I took out the idler gear cluster (#'s 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 in my book). then I unbolted and dropped my starter. SO NOW, is that ALL I have to remove to 'delete' my electric starter? I plan to get the Mikes plug for the starter hole. I kept seeing (on this topic) that I CAN remove some other parts after pulling the right side cover from the engine, but do I NEED to? If so, what am I removing? I want to eliminate the starter motor but still be able to kick start the bike. I was attacked and sodomized by an xs2 electric starter, so you can see WHY I want to delete it. I mean, ONCE is one thing... Ok, whatcha got?
