250r kickback

[88mxR]

When I try to start my 250r, it will kick back a few times, then it doesn't kick back, and it starts on the next kick. Can anyone explain why this happens?

mine does this too sometimes. does your motor have alot of compression? mine usually does it when im in a hurry or somethin and only half ass try start it with a short kick or two, and it will kick back like a stud horse. its best to give it a full hard kick and it starts every time.

its so funny when I let my friends, who ride electric start 4 strokes try to start my bike. usually every time it kicks back and busts em right in the shin

Give it a little less throttle when you kick it through.

I've busted my shins up plenty of times when my feet are wet and slip off the kicker lol...imagine trying to start a high compression cr 500r

yea that happents to me too with my banshee but since banshees have short kickstarters it does hit ur shin it just feels liek u broke ur foot & the bottom of ur foot hurts for like an hour unless u have riding boots then it does not hurt but i did it once wit lofers lol & i had a black & blue line across the bottom of my foot i talked 2 a guy once who had a lt500 & tryed kicking it over when it was really cold out & broke 2 bones in his foot every since then he rides the pussy way... push botton
