x18 wont kickstart

[dna316]

K so im no quite sure how this could be but. My bike starts perfect everytime with the electric starter but when i try to kick start it wont start up for mebanghead. I even tried starting it and riding it for a bit to warm the engine up, then turned it off and tried to kickstart it but no dice man, can anyone helpdunno. i guess its not that big a deal but if i ever find myself with a ded bat im screwed.

hum... but i have tried to put it into neutral and let go of the cluch and then the kickstart wont even let me kick, it gets way hard. ill try again iguess when i get home. thnx guys

[X7rocks]

kickstarting? well it isnt really smooth either gonna put some muscle in the kick

[dna316]

yea ill have to put some umf behind it. lol

[X7rocks]

one thing that helps me with my high compression motor is a good synthetic oil
Give GN4 synthetic oil a try and you should feel a worlds difference on how smooth the starting and running of the motor

Yall want to hear something funny, I have had my Mid and have been into Mids for 2 going on 3 years and when I tried to kick start it I think I was holding the clutch and "I thought is wasn't working" and never tried it again.
I just have been using my E-start. but I will try it tomorrow.

I feel like DEE DEE DEE! but I am only human.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

hey its live and learn
i had my estart bike for a yr before i tried
if you do the rear brake mod, then you will have to hold the brake to start it

[dna316]

lmao. you guys are a kick, get it a kick. lol i love this site. lol
