Whats the best way to start the 5 hundie ?
IceRacer:
I learned a trick from a friend which involves taking 1 of the air tubes and blowing into it. within a couple of kicks it should start

Hot: a little twist of the throttle held while giving it a full kick from the top of the stroke, fires first kick.
In both cases..Did I say kick it from the top of the stroke?
Cheers!

Not to be a d*ck, but twisting the throttle on a bike that isn't running will do absolutely nothing. It's a vacuum system and it needs to be running for any fuel to be sucked/pumped into the carburetor.
Just sayin'....

A few slow kicks then a hammer kick seems to fire it everytime for everybody I know. Good luck. If you don't mind a sleeve, check out the ebay company that sells the compression release kit for the big K.

this is always a good way to burn up some grass in your buddys yard and say sorry bout that then make sure your wearing a GOOD BOOT or else you may be replacing your shoes
kwakman:
86 says gas on,choke on if weather is cold,off if weather is warm,(cold engine)1 slow kick to prime, then stab at kicker from 1 third down the stroke,not from top,but kick it like you mean it.never fails, instant ring ding ding pop bang. :-D
FYRBUG:
Cold: Fuel on, choke on, Lean the bike far right for about 3 to 4 seconds but no need for fuel dribble, give her 1 to 3 hard boots and BAM! She's running. Hot: just 1 kick no throttle. I think propper jetting is the key.
