1. Hi there, just wondering if the roller starters you are building would be able to be used for a trail bike. I have an xr 400 Honda, and with the standard carby and the jetting i have, it runs great once it's started, but on a really cold day it doesn&

  • As your ride will have knobbly tyres, you will gain less traction on a set of rollers in comparrison to a street or track bike.

  • We only recommend our units on either race tyres or flattrack tyres (trials)

  • We cannot gaurantee startup on knobby tyres.

  • We need your ride details please.

Old Bikes and injured riders

1. Would these be suitable for vintage road bikes. I have a 1926 flat tank BSA (500cc single) and a bad back.

  • Your flat tank can be started with ease on a Rosco's Roller unit. We just need to get full detail of your ride, so that we can both gear and supply the appropriate starter unit. (Higher KW is not always the answer to starting). Gearing and KW are critical to each motorcycle to ensure correct/appropriate unit is supplied.

2. I found your roller starters finally after looking for something to help me start my old bikes. I lost my kicking foot a few years back in a big crash and now am a little kickstart-challenged. 

General Questions

  • Due to motorcross tyres (knobblies) having limited tread surface contacting the rollers, you may encounter some difficulty. 

  • Some flattrack bikes can be started quite easily, but they have trials tyres usually.

  • We would not guarantee success in starting your bike on our units
