I would like to know how much easier it make starting. I was just out ridding today on my 1986 kx500 and man that thing takes some getting used to.
Thanks,
Chris

Proper pilot jet size makes the bike easiest to start. I believe that the flywheel weight is supposed to give you more controllable roll-on power. I don't see how it would be easier to start. It does seem like it would increase the surge that k5's have when youy let off.

Probably just repeating what others hav put, but Ive found the best improvement on mine after setting the float level. Ive tried starting similar bikes that people cry about being hard to start....and being the bikes fault. Stubborn people...If mine takes more than 2 kicks its because its fallen over, then 3-5.
Cold: Choke on, one slow kick - 1/8 throttle held open, kick from the top fast
Hot: 1/8 throttle and a fast kick from the top
BTW, Im 5'6" and 140
