Oh, don't do that without proper boots. A friend of mine did that with a Husky TE570, and broke his ankle on a backfire. That was over a year ago, he's still limping..

I´m used to it.
I use my bike daily and my magic button doesn´t work.

Thanks tokadin!
When the bike was warm I tried your technique it and it works a treat

Then this morning. Stone cold I did it first go!

You just have to listen for the strange sound...

Cheers again mate!

I'm pleased to announce that I kick started my bike with a flat battery COLD START... I was quite pleased and it didn't really take that much..

Good on ya!

Dead flat battery??
Did you have to give it a few kicks to get some power into the fuel pump for it to build up some pressure?

[JRDoz]

A few kicks but not many, about 4 or so...

Im 130 lbs and 5'6" so kicking requires every inch I can get. My headlight and fuel pump work like they should but the starter is very slow, like 1 rpm lol. I heard of some people using both elec and kick at the same time. Anyone try this? I flooded it yesterday after a stall and had to kick my guts out. Finally got it started, stalled again cause the kicker jammed the brake pedal under the lower bolt for the clutch cover Aaargh! Now my brake pedal is pressed hard against the clutch cover and I will have to find a fix before I damage the cover. Is anyone elses kicker doing this? by the way it is an 07 450

You can kick either the 06 or 07 I have until you are purple without ever getting so much as a bang. Both fire up 1st push of the button even after standing a while. Kickstarter is an ornament for me!
