Taigi, radau baisiai visu KTM owneriu giriama recepta, kuris, kaip anie sako, tinka be isimties visiems thumperiams (viencilindriams):
ick starting thumpers
Before anything else: is the bike on and out of gear? Kill switch set to run? Choked if cold? Remember to not touch the throttle! Good, now stand on the same side as your kick starter, lean the bike towards you slightly, and:
1) Engage manual decompression lever,
2) Kick thru several times with decompression engaged to get a fresh charge in the cylinder,
3) Disengage the manual decompression lever,
4) Lightly push the kick starter down until it engages the compression stroke (won't go down further),
5) Engage the manual decompression lever again,
6) Note: some of this step is KTM LC4 specific so you may need to experiment with other bikes. If you have e-start, gently push the kick starter down one more inch (stop!) to get the stroke past TDC reducing the compression for the kick start. If you don't then leave the engine a TDC (no extra inch!),
7) Disengage the manual decompression lever and release the kick starter so it tops out,
8) (Get Ready) Hop up and bring your weight down on the kick starter. Violence is not necessary, just a complete kick thru. If you give it a half-hearted, sissy-la-la, titsie-baby, candy-ass, rooty-poop kick... and don't reach the bottom, that the motor will take offense and try to put your knee thru your nose. Also, use whatever foot you prefer, and stop asking me to specify... user preference ,
9) Is it started already!?!
