The bike DOES have electronic ignition – but it does not have an electric starter.
There is no key for a motocross bike. Some have on/off switches, or a kill button. The YZF has a kill button, so no key, no switch, just choke it, find Top dead center, roll past and kick.
The YZF426 could be a real bear to start, especially once it was hot. It was much better than the 400 (they changed the ignition curve), but I can remember many races where riders sat on the sidelines, kicking away at a 426 that wouldn't start after a crash.
