Up until I got this bike, I had never kick started anything but a 200cc two stroke. I've never had a problem starting that, no matter where I kicked it from.
I have been told and read on here to lightly kick it around until it is towards the top of the compression stroke. Well apparently my idea of the compression stroke, and my bike's idea of the compression stroke differ greatly(of course I am right, but the bike is slightly more powerful). Needless to say she got mad at me and kicked me back, then my leg fell onto the hot exhaust pipe, and my right legs is in some pain right now.
XS: 1 Dave:0
On a better not she at least started and ran for a few minutes before choking out, so I called it a day.
any more advice on exactly when/how to tell the compression stroke? Or how to train her on what the compression stroke actually?
