It sure sounds like there has to be more electronics to allow the electricity to flow to run the starter. That's what it sounds like to me and more electronics = less durability.


Just my two cents.

Bull bars are stupid. The only thing they belong on is chargers.

More electronics is not necessarily less reliable. If tip start is as mentioned, it will trip a relay which latches until it starts. Solid state relays are quite reliable.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!! I discovered this last night, when I took the truck to pick up a trailer from a friend. I bumped the key and released it in a manner that would have been too early for my Second Gen, but rather than just momentarily turning and stopping, the starter continued and the truck fired up.

The Silver Bullet is bad a$$

I hope it isn't turning into gibberish. It's an awesome ride, but if you feel the need to lock it, then I guess you can have at it.

Old man Eaton is just bored all the time and jealous that our forum is the only one with activity.
