Left Side Kick!

Still a fan of the left side kick, I've gotten good and creative at starting it in tough places but accidents happen!

Left side kick is interesting, first day I got my 79 cr250 I kicked it over with a pair of skate shoes and it slipped and cut my ankle open haha.

Good stuff man. When the bike first flipped I actually said "Why the heck did he click it into gear!?" LOL. Then you explain it was an accident  :D .

Hey Opfer, if you noticed your Maischco fired on the first kick and then it took a bunch of kicks to get it going. What I've found with my Maicos is if, after stalling, the bike doesn't fire up on 1 or 2 kicks I'll prime it with the choke for 1 or 2 kicks and then it will fire right up with a kick or two. The big bores seem to lose their intake charge if they don't don't fire up right away.

I actually got rid of my KDX because kicking it was too hard on my back (two surgeries in case you don't know). My next ff road bike will be e-start as well. My Gas Gas trials bike is kick but I don't ride it nearly as long as I did on trails rides with the KDX, where I might stop and re-start several times over the course of the full day of riding. I usually only start the trials bike once and ride an hour or two, then park it for the day.
