[QUOTE="stormi, post: 769619, member: 52107"] So, Here's my "technique" for now. I found that I can sit very far forward, nearly on the gas tank. Then put my foot on the kickstarter and shove as hard and as quickly as I can back and downward. When I do this, my left foot comes off the ground and I do this goofy little bounce thing, but can start the bike quite often. Apparently it looks funny, but I was getting it started on the first kick probably 3 out of 4 times. Warning though, it can be pretty exhausting! Also, esp in sand, I noticed that if I sit forward, then put my left foot on the peg and kick with the right, I can often get in 3 kicks before I tip over enough that I need to stop kicking and try to keep myself off the ground. I hope this helps someone else out there. [/QUOTE]
