How hard is it to get used to if you've never used a kick start before? I've heard stories of guys being thrown upside down when the motor starts.
it all depends how well ya motor is set up.....I use a Morris Magneto as well so if I wanted to it would run without any electrics at all on the bike....but if you are using electronic or points & Coil ignition you will need power feed from either a Battery or a Battery eliminator which is realy just a Capasitor for a small amount of power to fire ya up then it will run off ya charging system.
