I have an 87 YZ490... "f"-in animal !!! I don't ride it much ...but when I take it out... It's an adrenaline rush Big Time !! Yea, you're right...They are a bitch to start!
I have a tip to make it a whole bunch easier to start !
1: turn the fuel on...(DUH)
2: put the choke on.
3: put it in 1st gear.
4: rock the bike back and forth in gear..you'll feel the piston rock up and down in the cylinder.
5: Rock the bike back and forth about a dozen times..this will get the fuel into the cylinder.
6: put the bike in neutral
7: kick the bike over..guarenteed to start in 3 kicks !
Once I used this technique, the bike would start every time without kicking your A$$!
Try it, I guarantee you start it this way every time! TRUST ME !!
