i think it might be hard to try and pull start because you have to ease the cord out to allow the engine to de-compress and then rip it like a lawnmower. i ease it out and count to three leaving pressure on the cord, then pull to start it...
it will look and sound like a totally different bike !!
i wish i was more into the quads when i had my hondas in ontario, everything was kept
stock and now wish i had at least put an exhaust and bigger tires on them...
i just read it, all 4x4, not any 2x4... maybe email them and ask if there is a conversion kit for yours, or another honda that could be used for the conversion,,, maybe someone here knows more about a swap from another honda
just talked to honda here and they said honda did discountinue the wheel cylinders, but they still offer the rebuild packages... the dealer here had a left cylinder in stock with the bleeder screw... any help?
try ebay, Motorcycle Parts, Motorcycle Accessories by BikeBandit.com , ATV Parts and Accessories | Rocky Mountain ATV/MC
you should be able to get parts still....
slip-on exhaust will give you a few pony's and not break the bank...
