Managed to get the bike kick started today, it wasnt that difficult tbh, i had put it off for a few days whilst i cleaned her up. im struggling to decide for certain when im at TDC. Whilst we're on the subject please could you clarify im doing this all correctly! im sorry if this annoys the people who have answer this a million times, but my searches just throw up subjects that tend to just skip on and off the subject of starting. if i get good at starting the bike then i will do a vid of how to start it for the forum (in english) as theres nothing on youtube or the like that i can find ! (and trying to use a translator on the net and copying off the german guide turns up some funny translations haha)
(this was from cold with no choke)
1- im pushing the kickstart down until i feel its on its compression (decomp left alone)
2- allow kickstart to return to the top then pull decomp and then push kickstart down to approx quarter past/20 past.
3- let go of decomp lever and allow kickstart to return to top
4- give it a good kick and voila !
thats how i remember it all happening. my only problem is sometimes im getting what feels like tdc but then when i go to kick i really DO feel where tdc actually was.
and i take it i DONT touch the throttle when starting !? What about before starting, can you give it a couple of opens to get some juice through ?
