Hi guys my name is Gavin and i passed my direct access test on 4th sept which i was extremly pleased about as u can imagine,

Now for my question ive been offered a Kawasaki GPX 600 R for my 1st bike but theres a problem with it the bike needs a new starter clutch :S im sure i could probably fit one but i would like to know if u cans till bump start the bike with this nackered :S and also are they a pain in the arse to fit :S

What do u think this would be like for my 1st bike i live a few hundered miles away from my family so my plan to get a bike that would be happy to go up and down the motorway ? Would this be a good bike for that and would it be a good bike for a novice

Welcome, Gavin.

My experience of Starter Clutches is almost zero, but I see no reason why you couldn't bump it. Best ask in the Workshop, though, or wait for someone more knowledgeable to come along.

edit: and congratulations on passing your DAS Very Happy

As most of us on IRC said, get it. You could easily get it fixed at some point.
