Has anyone put a decompression valve on a late model XS650 ('81) to use with a kickstart only? I know that the set up was originally for the electric start, but I have used other (mainly dirt bike) engines that used decompression valves for kickstart and it made it a snap. I haven't been able to find info on whether the valve can be used for a non-original purpose.
