Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
how does everyone else get their 500 started
BigGreenMachine:
Good read.

Thanks guys, since using the techniques from the boards, I have been usually sitting waiting on other guys to get their bikes going. It seems to me that the comperesion strokes and rocking do about the same thing, good thing I have done both. I have turned into a 1-2 kick guy because of the starting advice from the forum
Friar-Tuck:
I must confess, :oops:
I have tried every hokey pokey turn yourself around spin three times and Roy rogers on the back and jump on the kickstarter...Oy-Va....
I have to go with Gowen & co. Once that thing is tuned anywhere close a few "sissy" or primer kicks, that one inch past TDC let the kicker back up to top and give her a good whack. (cold, choke. warm no-choke)
It works so well I disconnected the comp. rel. on my XR628 (I know Mercy! Mercy!) and tried it
and has worked on every other bike I could try it on.
Caution !!
Once your buddies figure this out the old
"If You can start it, you can ride it" is not to be touted lightly!
The other 500 site I reside at a fellow has a short vid of the routine and it cleared things up quite nicely.
I however am video/computor illiterate, and don't want to pirate his vid.

Thank you.
I always feel like "Zorro" when he was up on a roof, and summoning his valiant black horse, ready to jump on it's back!
I simply call "here lime green horsie......" :)
