Why do Yamahas bikes use different electric starts? The YZF250x has had elec start for a few years but its in front of the cylinder. Why is the race bikes motor behind the cylinder? I think it was Febvre that a few years ago was first using the elec start with the motor in front of the cylinder... probably for this reason.
It looks like Suzukis RMZ450x is the same way. Is there a way to use this on an RMZ by just using the cases so you can have an elec start suzuki race bike.. although then it will weigh even more? Where is Suzuki holding allll this extra weight? The motor?
Speaking of Suzukis why with their Aluminum frames do they consistently turn better than every bike... maybe until this year where a lot of people say the Honda turns the best now and its stable. Do they sacrifice everywhere else just to get the best steering? Say having very upright rake on the forks which will make it steer like a knife but then all over the place at high speed?
Thanks
