Message: [QUOTE="Boozer, post: 224110, member: 25135"] not really. it is jetted wayy too rich from the box, and needs to be jetting correctly before one can judge. When this is done, there isn't much work in starting the bike, when the starting drill is sorted out of course (but thats true with almost all 4 stroke bikes). It's interesting to note that they all have trouble starting when new, but after a few hundred kays (harder to clock up on the YZ) they will start easier, even with the standard jetting if you must use it. Look at [url]www.thumpertalk.com,[/url] as this issue has been discussed and the problem has been sorted out, especially in terms of starting technique. There are tips to start a semi- flooded bike also (after a fall), but i must agree that when the bike is flooded well and truly, then the only option is to remove the plug. Can be done with the tank on, but with the 400/426, the tank must come off for spark plug access. [/QUOTE]
