[QUOTE="BSWIFT, post: 1288806, member: 16802"] Is this just when the bike is cold or anytime you try to start it. I disagree with Joe. If the bike's idle is really low, a bit a throttle IS needed to start. If the compression is keeping you from giving it a sharp kick, you'll need to learn to throw your weight into it. Full, clean kick. Starting the kick just past TDC allows you to get the full down and up stroke of the piston on the kick. You might turn the idle screw in a 1/8 or 1/4 turn until you get the hang of it. You'll want to turn the idle screw back out after starting. If the compression is not the issue, read thru the jetting link at the top of this forum and get the bike jetted properly. You'll like the way it runs when it is jetted right. The choke may be necessary on a cold start but should not be needed when at operating temperature. Again, jetting is the key factor. Technique is really not as important, granted your not having problems overcoming the compression. [/QUOTE]
