I have an '83 and I wish mine started that easy. I believe I have a valve seat problem that I need to get fixed. Great bike! Does dirt and street really well. Please post vid's of your bike.

Love it. I drove one of these for a while in the early 90s come out I wish I still had it.

You not actually starting that bike properly. Get it on top dead center, then use the decompression lever on the handlebar, don’t pull it all the way just half, bring the kicker down just a bit, let off the decomp,let the kicker come back up, then kick it through. Bang!

Man that engine sounds tight no slap, rattle or anything 👍

It's mind-boggling how thin this kick starter is. Having to replace that piece/or welding it wasn't uncommon back then (that includes two strokes) on big monos. In this particular case, I'm surprised neither of them broke. I'm talking about the the leg and the metallic part.

Did you make that mounting hardware for your supertrapp exhaust ? I’ve got the same exhaust and I like how you mounted yours

Nice kickstarting dude Do you hold the clutch in when you kick over a dirtbike? I always do when I kick over my yz490. Gotta really give it some serious kicking to get a 4o0 started.
