[QUOTE="Scott Senatore, post: 879856, member: 18194"] Hi Camrider, I have a 00 426 and you are correct, they are cold blooded. My routine to start it is pull out the choke, 2 quick twists of the throttle ( when Cold ) and kick away, it will usually start the first or second kick. Hot, pull out the hot start, keep the throttle closed and kick, first kick just about every time. If you do drop the bike and have trouble starting it, pull in the compression release push the kill switch and kick it through a few time to clean it out, mine will usually fire right up. One more suggestion, the crank case breather will draw dirt up, as recommended by Rich I cut the breather hose close to the head (I did find dirt) and install a filter, mine is a small K&N type. For Oil I have run Mobile 1 15-50 with good results. Coolant I run Maxima collanol, I have only boiled once and that was a very humid day with a lot of idling (TonyD motocross school). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
