So I've got a 1988 YZ250, everything on it works fine and it runs fine (when it starts). The issue is I can't seem to kick start it easily, it takes me forever and I just cant seem to get the "trick" down. Everyone but me that has tried to kick start it does it fine. Seriously, one kick and they get it going-- these are all seasoned riders though and I'm just beginning. I can't see what I'm doing differently, I kick just as hard yet it doesn't like to start for me.
My question is, is there anything I can do make it easier? Any tricks I should know about? It just seems like this dirt bike has a soul and it just doesn't like me. I find it so odd that everyone but myself can start it without issue.
I was at Carnegie a week ago, sitting at the snack shop trying to kick start it. I'd say a crowd of about 20 people or so are standing around giving me tips and helping me out, but for the life of me I couldn't start it. A guy walks up, kicks it once and hilarity ensues. Feel my frustration. :bang:
