depends on temp. i have started my bike in 20 deg wether. took a couple extra kicks (5 or so) but it fired.
it also depends on how long my bike sits. 3-4 days it will fire when cold in 3-4 kicks. after more than 8 days it takes up to 7-8 kicks at least. it is usually in the 30's also.
i will try leaning the bike to get the fuel to flow out the overflow vents the next time i try to start the bike. it is apart now waiting for the forms and shock to get done being rebuilt. i figure i will ride in 2 weeks.
fuel valve on, choke on, find TDC (not necessary), use full kicks - not short quick kicks - no throttle.
should start in less than 10 kicks (worst case) - if not pull the plug and check for fuel fouling. no fuel fouling - lean the bike far over until you see fuel come out the vent tubes. try kicking again.
