Default Kick Start 07 FSR 450?

Anyone ever done it?
I have tried a few times and have given in and went for the button

I have fastway pegs on in the low position and the kick starter hits them at the bottom of the stroke.

Any secrete technics?

It is a little tricky, I have an '05 FSE and this is how I do:

Slowly kick past TDC on the compression stroke, until the camshafts settles in a new position. The engine makes a weird little noise, like rotating gears somehow. Return the kick lever to its top position and then take up the slack. Now push it firmly through the entire stroke all the way down to the footpeg. That should do it.

I made a video just for all of you who think its impossible

One of my customers is able to kick start his 05 FSE when the battery is dead. I didnt believe him until i seen it happen.

Do you mean 'battery dead' as does not even prime the fuel pump? Impressive.

Yep, dead. Not even a click. Took about 10-12 kicks and it was running.

Do you still use a closed throttle when kick starting it ?

I finally kick started my bike . My throttle was closed. The bike was warm. I will try it in the am when cold. I did not think it was possible, I still prefer the magic button.
