          yeah what ever.......

          i've got the bike running alot better then when i tryed to kick start it....

          i'll have to try it some time...

          but i will look into the kick starter lever anyway...

          i just like the look.

            Hehe Hitting the starter button was a joke

            You're welcome to stop by and we can fire her up. I'd wager three kicks max.

              I think my kicker is off of a big Suzuki GS. It was in the Suzuki isle at my local salvage and it matched the splines on my emerg kicker. My bike starts with the kicker with minimal effort. My CR250 was harder to kick than this thing.

                kicks

                If you have it tuned wel enough to start on just a couple kicks you are doing great. I too love the looks. That is the main reason I wanted to find a kicker. Thats why I asked if there was any trick to the technique. I have heard some say they can't ge them to turn over off he kick for sh&t. A few have said that they can kick i over in a couple of kicks every time.

                  Gotta love the retro look. I get one-kick starts cold, sometimes it wants two kicks when it's warm. WTF?

                    nice

                    That bike looks great Randy. very clean .

                    My brother who is a harley guy was watching my kick it for the first time and as soon as it fired he just got a huge grin on his face and said....... okay that's pretty badass. I might just convert him over to the inline fours.
