,since i read the post this a.m. about how many pilots don`t kick-start, i was
really appauled. i do it all the time, 2 kicks max, brake and throttle, jack stand of course.,, but i made a point of not using my starter all day.,
so that meant 4 starts, but i`m gonna do it all w/end, ( i did hit the starter once and stopped)
,,but kicking gives me an idea about my compression, i mean it`s not a harley,,, so save your starter on those short trips and your battery too,.
and think of all the calories you`ll burn.,,,,or get your kids to try, they`ll love it.
,,*also the dollar tree has american flags, i`m going to fix one on each mirror for my rides all w/end. i love my country because it`s free
Kick-Start your 4th using leg power only

YEAH AMERICA!!! U S A ! U S A !
Since it is a free country I will use my freedom of speech to say that you cannot tell me what to do with my legs.
Just kidding... I like this idea. however it takes me a really long time to get mine to kick, the blasted thing always jams and then hurts my ankle. yeah, I'm probably not doing it right, but I have tried it every possible way I can think of. Even a friend of mine who is majorly into scooters and kick-starts his Vespa everyday it took him like 5 minutes to kick mine over. Then he was like "now I get it, there's a trick" so he shut it off and tried it again and it took him almost as long... I'm going out try it summore right now.

You dont need to brake when kicking

True, but it's not a bad idea, in case the bike tips off the center stand.Buddy_wannabe wrote:You dont need to brake when kicking
