? Revis? Revised shape of kickstart ratchet enables lever to return to start position more smoothly
? Strong output from the large ACG rotor provides enough electrical power for the battery-less FI system to enable true one-kick starting without using a battery
? Equipped with an automatic compression release (ACR) system for quick and easy starting. The dual-weight centrifugal decompression system is fitted to the exhaust cam
? Compression release features 1.0mm of valve lift, to minimize the required kicking power
Anyone have both KX5 and KX450, I would like to know how they compare starting both hot and cold?

I have both and the KX5 is harder to kick hot or cold.

I have both as well, the K5 has a compression release, even so the 450 is loads easier to start, I have both a 2011 and a 2012, both start easy and kick over easy. I think the 12 has more over rev than the 11 but not appreciable.

You will love it, my next purchase is going to be pro moto billet kickstand

Installed the Pro Moto billett kickstand, fits like a glove, these things are expensive but man are they nice. They tuck out of the way, you don't even know they are there.

You should seriously consider replacing the chain guide and slider rather quickly, they wear out almost immediately, at least the 11, 10 and 09 did. I used the TM designs chainguide and slider they last like iron
