I guess some guys have adapted the ASV with the built in hot start used as the decompression.

To the best of my knowledge there is no "good" solution. I'd love to see a ASV with a proper decompression lever, but they'll never do it.

Funny, I was just bugging them about it the other day. I even sent them a drawring of an extension that could go on the existing asv HS lever that would fold away via spring loading. Using a hotstart lever for decomp is brutal, but it just needs more leverage.

One of the guys at ASV has a tarded xrr, and he uses both the ASV clutch and the factory perch for the decomp. which forced his multi switch in board and makes his turn signals hard to reach. I was able to get both perches on there without moving my switches. It isn't pretty, but it works.

My lever hotstart lever extension was brilliant: $1.00 in materials and it could sell for $20. But no, they aren't interested.

there is nothing to see, you are connecting the decomp to the hotstart lever and it looks like any other setup.

I've got the MSR Raptor Shory w/hot start on my XR650R and it works great. Just use the heel of your palm to operate the decompression/hotstart lever.

Do you have a pic of it on your bike or a bike with a multi switch for turn signals and such?

I could operate the ASV with my palm, and probably any other HS, but it is clumsy and slow and a PITA. Doing it quickly was impossible, plus it was sensitive to slack and adjustment. Sometimes it would kill the engine on sharp left turns.
I am much happier running two perches and the factory decomp lever, and I could have saved $20-30. If I have the time, I will integrate the two purches, but it isn't that big of a deal.
