Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
my first 500
crazyolbastard:
I like to put my 500 in second gear, rock it back and forth to "tickle" it, get the piston as close ta top as I can, then kick in a backwords stroke and avoid a down motion.
Looks like that shin hurts.
Welcome to the kx club that is the tops.
jswatland:
What you said is very funny. After i banged my shin and the pain went away (about 5 mins), i put the kicker at different spots and kicked it over slow. I found that kicking it back was the easiest for me and seemed like it would save my shin from mass destruction. By the way, did i mention that i love this bike?

Welcome to the forum !
Here's our first free tip:
NEVER attempt to start a KX500 with anything on your feet other than quality MX boots ! You will end up with an extremly painfull footpeg rash on your right calf. (sililar to exactly what your leg looks like ! ) :-o

Duly noted. I have a set but was wearing my slip on work boots at the time.

Please do not post that you attempted to start a KX500 wearing wet flip-flops.... you will be subject to getting an internet beat-down with a stupid bat... LOL :-D
