The nice thing about kick starting is you aren't sapping the battery to spin your engine at the same time your coils are needing the juice.
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

If you cut your engine out in heavy city traffic (or a construction zone) to avoid overheating and and walk it for a while that button sure is nice.

Glad to hear your bike fired right up Jake, that's always a good sign of health! Getting about time to Stabil it though, I'd guess.

i kinda just keep riding mine, probably why ive been sick for a week. i just cant get enough riding in. my commute to work is only like 5 miles so by the time i am an icecube, im just about there. and trust me a starter button is in my plans, right now its like learning the hard way not to stall in traffic.
