i know this subject has been kicked to death:D , but i just got the wr home sat night, put in my racing fuel,and followed the book procedures with no luck. i was a sweating pig after about 10min of fruitless kicking. the wife was forlone and quietly questioned my choice of the wr over the exc. well then i pushed in the choke and pulled out the hot start and it started right up. after riding for about 45 min i went inside for about and hour and came back out, used the hot start and started on the first kick. now, after much experimentation, if i'm starting a cold bike, i give it two twists of the throtle, pull out the hot start, and it never takes more than 2 kicks. if it is hot ie i kill the bike(:eek: ) the bike will start on the first kick with the hot start pulled. btw, god bless that kickstand, cause at 5'9" its hard to get a good kick, but i put down the kickstand, stand on the pegs, and bingo, plenty of travel for a good kick.:D
