Try cranking over a 13:1 z1 motor with electric starter and it come back against itself! :woohoo:

okay guys well the 900 is running great a couple of kinks I need to work out some kinks before I start my custimization but I have a new problem I fixed my starter problem but the smaller gear held in with some sort of holding pen isnt holding the gear in place so it can spin once the starter is engaged to fire the bike up I feel like it may be too short cause it doesnt want to stay put so I cant even get the case back on without that gear sliding forward allowing my starter to freely spin so im stuck with kick starting till someone can tell me how to fix this

If you are talking about the starter gear dowel there is a recessed area on the inside of the cover that keeps it from coming out. If it won't stay put until you put the cover on pack it with some grease to hold it.
