Whats the best way to start the 5 hundie ?
bigborefan:
Tuen on the gas a choke it. Put it in first gear. Rock it back and forth, you will feel the piston turning over. Do this for 20-30 seconds. Put it in neutral and give it a stout kick. It will start in one kick.
Texas Champ.:
What does rocking the bike back and forth do??...Why not just kick it through slowly about 4 times?? that is what the kickstarter for right?? ....km
ttoks:
this is how i start mine http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u297/ttoks/?action=view¤t=MOV02693.flv
fuel on, no choke hot or cold, get it just before TDC if it's hot, or get it to TDC cold, then literally jump on the starter, works every time.
kiwimonster:
i kikcked my 5 hunny over in jandals once. and i mean once cut the inside of my ankle from sole to the ankle bone. went to get it stitched at hospital. the nurse was horified i told her to double stitch it as i was going riding the nest day. she did and i went riding, bloody sore. but hey a rides a ride.
bunk:
^^^ which is why i always put at least my right boot on whenever i start it. Even if im just starting to load it up in the truck, i bruised my foot one to many times.
