[QUOTE="bashn, post: 87449, member: 20847"] You must use the decompression lever to get it to light. It's too easy with this bike: Pull the lever in and it should "stick" in, then let go of the lever. Push the kickstart lever slowly, until the lever pops back out, but no further. Lift the kickstart lever back to the top of the stroke and give a healthy but smooth kick. If the decompression lever does not stay in when you pull it, then the piston is already where it needs to be, and you just kick it. If the bike is cold, choke out, 1 quick twist of the throttle (but don't ever repeat). If hot then pull the hot-start button, no throttle. When slightly warm, no choke, no hot-start, no throttle. My bike is the easiest starting 4-stroke I've ever had. 1 or 2 kicks at the most. Many people don't realize the decompression lever works this way on the DRZ. The dumb-@$$ salesman told me someone stole part of the lever, and thats why it would stick when pulled. jeez. Mark '01 YZ250F '00 DRZ400 [/QUOTE]
