[QUOTE="yz250f, post: 92758, member: 21606"] [b]I take blame for this one...[/b] Ya... I have a tendency when the engine is hot to not use the compression release when starting the bike. I weigh 200 lbs and rarely have a tough time kicking it over. I assumed the shaft could handle the torque... my mistake. We were a good 20 min from the trucks and there were 2 horrible river crossings I had to navigate through before I could load the bike up. After about 10 tries I managed to bump start it then road home scared to death I would stall at the bottom of a hill in a mud bog. Fortunately I made it home without stalling. I'll certainly use the relase from now on. The shaft is $120 and I'll have the shop do the install. Shouldn't take more than an hour. This bike has sure given me a lot of opportunities to build character.:think [/QUOTE]
