How does a kick start start system work?
KickMagic is easy to install with no modifications to your motorcycle and the major components can be removed from your bike in a few minutes for storage with common tools. The heart of the system is the coupling of the pneumatic actuator to a multi-function “combination” shaft mounted on the bike’s existing kick start gearbox interface.
How does the kickmagic pneumatic starter system work?
One byproduct of the design is the elimination of kickback due to backfires as the pneumatic actuator acts as a strong, but resilient, buffer. KickMagic is easy to install with no modifications to your motorcycle and the major components can be removed from your bike in a few minutes for storage with common tools.
