Hi there wesh,
Providing everything is in order on the bike, this is my starting sequence:
1) Pull choke
2) Pull decomp lever, open throttle, and kick bike through 3 times
3) Bring the engine to TDC, or thereabouts by slowly kicking the bike until compression builds
4) kick like you've got a pair. Repeat until bike starts.
5) If the bike fails to start within a reasonable amount of kicks, go back to step two to clear the chamber and try it again.
With this method, my bike usually starts within 3-5 kicks, unless I've forgotten to turn the key on.
thanks,
