[QUOTE="Pumpkinhead, post: 91219, member: 22141"] Starting the bike with the stand down is going to get you hurt. You will have more power in your kick if you are standing up. The key to starting most any four-stroke is to kick heavily all the way through to the bottom of the stroke. Popping it down quickly like a 2-smoke will just tire you out. The emphasis on your kick should be towards the bottom of the stroke not the top. 1) If it's cold out use the choke. 2) Let the kick-starter rise to the top,pull in the decompress lever and slowly push down on the kick-start approx 2 inches until you feel a soft spot. 3) Release the decomp lever and let the kickstart rise back to the top. 4) Kick down forcefully putting the emphasis of your kick towards the bottom of the stroke. It should fire after a few kicks using this method. If it doesn't then pull in the decomp lever and kick all the way through 5-8 times to clear out the plug. Then re-try the method above. It was the only way to consistently start my XR-400. BTW- when the bike is hot or if you drop it...you will most likely need to pull in the decomp lever and kick it through 5-8 times before it will fire. :) Not trying to flame you cw242, but you had it a litlle backwards.:think [/QUOTE]
