Why dont you try a slightly larger pilot. With the ignition off, give it 5 or 6 really slow kicks then give her hell

[flotek]

properly located grooves can be added/ported above the exhaust port that will have an easy kick effect like a decompression and make starts alot better i have done this to the honda cr500 with good results

Really that bike is too large for you, You should be in the 125-250 range.
But what ever floats your boat, Dont get hurt!!
I remember kicking in regular shoes, Never again..

Sell the bike to me. I outweigh you by 20lbs

haha nahhh.

i had it for sell a while back for like 6-700$.
but after i actually rode it i loved it to hell.
all the locals look at me like im a nut job riding a wheelie on it down the street(not meaning to).it liked to try and loop me.
our buddy frank(260lb 34 year old) rode it abnd was scared and thinks im crazy haha.


i tried rocking it back and forth and gave it 3 slow kicks and gave it 3 hell of kicks holding my breath hopign it wouldnt back lash.
started right the hell up.

it is a bit big but im really tall so i fit perfect on it,,,,except my weight.


my girlfriend has a medium built shee and my buddys have a raptor 660,,,,,stock shee,,,,and some 450 4 pokes,,,,,,,,i ride a 04 400ex also,,,and they sued to smoke the hell out of me,,,,i get a kick out of them getting in front of me thionking there gonna smoke me and zooming right the hell past them in an instant.:]
feels great as hell,,,and funny as there jaws drop,,,as my face is purple.

first day i got it moms first response was"oh no no no no take that thing back,,,your not riding it"
and my dad sat and laughed and told me more power to me but if i get hurt its my fault..and that he couldnt blame me as he was the same way driving a v8 vega to school at the age of 15.


hehehehe

POWER.

You may need to aquire a beer belly in order to properly start such a machine... The left foot thing is all psychological... after a couple hundred kicks and going to bed with a sore left leg a few times it will become second nature... eventually you will get a charge out of watching other people try to start it.

[dmartin1]

haha.
what i do is lean it over a bit so gas will slosh and get in the carb,,,,,i rest my foot on the kicker,and let it fall all the way down once,,,kick it 2 times easy,,and kick it like all high hell,and it usually starts like 2nd kick.
