Got to agree with MC.
I'm running an 1140cc hy-vo motor and it's a snap to kick start.

Cheers,

That wasn't the case with my 836

Better check your cam timing Terry

Thanks Brian, but I dialled the cam in as per Mike's instructions, and it's spot on. 120 MPH @ 11000 RPM in third gear indicates to me that it's somewhere in the ball park, I woulda thought? Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Thanks Brian, I agree, but I had to do it once, haven't you ever done that?  ;D
