Re: Self starter for Suzuki Samurai 99 Model

Since the technology & facility is already available, this is very much possible.

In Chennai people quote around 5~7k for adding starter motor for RX, I hope it should be similar number for Samurai as well.
Free-wheel to be added to crank shaft, engine case modification to accommodate the motor, bigger battery & related electricals.

Having answered your questions above, adding a bit of my thought
- Modification is possible, but not reliable, not cost worthy
- You could either dispose the bike and get him another bike with factory fitted self start which is more reliable and efficient
- If there are any sentimental attachments with the Samurai, retain the bike. With the cost for modification, you could easily get a used 100cc bike / scooter with self start

Thank u Mr Boss,

The 5 -7k you are mentioning is inclusive of all changes or only for starter motor. I have enquired with some nearby mechanics, but they are yet to come up with a quote.

He is keeping the bike for emotional value only, and of late am also interested in the same.

Thanks again

Includes everything.
Motor alone costs nothing over a couple of grands.
