You need to kick the start lever backwards and down, instead of just down.
Try it. It really works.
When I originally had the aftermarket seat foams made. I sent Guts Racing a OEM GasGas seat foam for an '01 and had them make a tall foam, as well as an OEM profile seat foam for us, using their medium density foam. It is much better than the OEM GasGas seat foam, which will let you feel the seat base after a 45 minute ride. Guts also made new covers to match the foam, both in the competition cover (which GoFasters sells as their "GasGas" cover) and a plain black gripper cover.
GoFasters is selling the seat foams, and I have special ordered a plain black cover, since I like them better than the competition covers.
You ought to be able to order the foam and cover directly from Guts, if GoFasters doesn't get you what you want.
I'm only 6' tall, but the foam really helps me get off my butt easier, and gives my knees something to grip when I am standing.
You can always lower the pegs by running Fastway Yamaha pegs, which let you move the barrel above or below the pivot in the mount, but I hate to expose my feet to rocks and stumps by lowering them.
I am running a Pro-Tect under the bars steering damper mount, with Hawkins High Bend Pro-Taper bars.

This finally allowed me to stand and ride comfortably.
I will try to attach a photo of them on my '06 DE300. I am still using the oem GasGas throttle cable. No problems, as long as the cable is routed cleanly.
