It's actually very simple.
FYI without adding additional relays, you will have to charge the second battery externally (after each ride or two) because it won't be charged automatically - but your bike is likely to start well, if not instantly.
There are instances where the extra voltage is hard on the EC start switch, and requires replacement. The XC models' start switch is more robust. Some argue that the extra voltage is hard on the starter. Others argue that it is easier on the starter - better than making the engine turn over multiple times without actually starting (grind or bind).
So while I am advocating this as an option, I cannot speak to its reliability. KTM guys have done it for years - but I don't want to be the cause of having your new starter burn out either; they are expensive and I have limited personal experience!
