Question Electric Start for TT600R

Hi fellow riders

Sorry if this question has already been asked.

Just wondering how difficult it would be to install an electric starter on a TT600R, obviously would need to fix a battery somewhere,
but how would you attach the starter motor to the engine.
How does the TT600RE do it? Is it adaptable to the TT600R?

Thanks for any advice offered

E-start

That would be a major operation. Change the crankcase, buy and install the totthed wheels and one-way bearing on the crankshaft, install a battery, change wiring and install starter button. You're probably better off selling your TT600R and buying a RE.
If the reason is that your TT600R starts so badly, just get everything in perfect order (idle mixture, decompression system, etc) and you won't need the E-start.
