fits in there as nice as you like, almost looks made for it.
Starts _very_ easily now, not always first kick but it really does want to start.
I'm switching the battery on, starting the bike and switching the battery off once it's running.
The fuel pump _does not_ run 'till the bike has been booted over at least once, one the bike has turned over, you can hear the pump running after the engine rotation and charging the fuel system.
Have managed the starting by hand, trick :-)
Much keener to go out and play now that I know I can start the thing easily.
Having had my 2012 works bike for ages, I finally got round to getting out to a club trial the other weekend.
It had occasionally ben a pig to start on occasion, to the point that I'd given up on it a couple of times instead of actually riding it but going to the club trial meant it _Had_ to start.
Having kicked it over so much I was a blue sweaty mess a younger / fitter guy took over and got it started (after another buddy had tried to get it going)
It is really really nice to ride but I was petrified of stalling it for fear of not being able to get it going again.
Took the front light plate off to get to the capacitor doofer behind it and spliced it in.
covered all the splices with waterproof heatshrink covering.
Put it all back together and held the batterybox on top of the capacitor with double sided velcro (holds batteries into my toy planes as they get flung around so it'll probably be enough for this application, time will tell)
Not sure if this has been posted already, but if after the 3rd kick no joy - rare these days, I kick over once with the throttle wide open and then throttle closed and it starts - sometimes with the throttle wide - spins up fast!!
Having used that method before with the Scorpa, tried it (along with "what about the FI system" thoughts) worked a treat.
and on day 2, thought I was going to pass out trying to start it . . . .
Gave up and tried the Scorpa, 2nd kick (after not being run for at least 3 weeks)
whoever left the LSS system off the UK bikes needs to have a word with themselves.
Now, back to the fora to try to figure out how to make an LSS myself . .
Nice bike but such a pig to start, takes everything else away from it.
and the kickstart fouls the frame (knocking lumps off the frame, also leading to "sair knee" having kicked the frame to death trying to start the fekkin thing)

Siamese twins walk into a bar in Canada and park themselves on a bar stool.
One of them says to the bartender, "Don't mind us; we're joined at the hip. I'm John, he's Jim. Two Molson Canadian beers, draft please."
The bartender, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite conversation while pouring the beers. "Been on holiday yet, lads?"
"Off to England next month," says John. "We go to England every year, rent a car and drive for miles. Don't we, Jim?" Jim agrees.
"Ah, England!" says the bartender. "Wonderful country... the history, the beer, the culture..."
"Nah, we don't like that British crap," says John. "Hamburgers and Molson's beer, that's us, eh Jim? And we can't stand the English - they're so arrogant and rude."
"So why keep going to England?" asks the bartender.
"It's the only chance Jim gets to drive."
More countries drive on the left, but more people drive on the right.

Sweden was the last country to change sides in 1967.
It was a gradual process, busses and trucks on monday, cars on Tuesday and bikes on Wednesday . . . . .
