if it takes allot of kicks/tries to start it, the jetting maybe off.
or the procedure you use.
in an effort to save my energy, when i have to restart after a get-off i'll hold the throttle wide open and kick it thru slowly, not a good start-the-bike kind of kick, to get the possible rich mixture out,
this rally helps.

another trick with trials is dont kick like an enduro
enduros kick easier and have less compression fighting you

when you go to give it the start-the-bike-kick drop your weight onto the stroke by bending your non kicking leg
it sounds weird and it feels weird but you are just using gravity and your body weight to do the work

search for jim snell videos
he has one that shoes the technic

also slowly stroke till the kickstarter is engaged
never, on any bike, just start stabbing away
