Must have been like JUST been rebuilt and the last yr they were made becuase those fuckin things are NOTORIOUS for tearing shoes and ankles APART when trying to start! So much fucking compression, I seriously couldnt use a regular shoe to kick that bitch, had to have boots on. Theres a trick for the 500’s, but still.

yea, I had a routine I used to get it started, lean the bike over till gas poured out, pick it back up, kick it over a couple times slow, get it to TDC then WHAM. This one was a 1991 and was recently rebuilt
