    Angry Electric start sucks

    Ever try to bump start these new generation 4 strokes? It aint easy i tell ya
    I left the key on for 2 days (shame on me for leaving it in the thing, rite? ) and there wasn't even enough juice left to make a click. Maybe i'll have to fgure for that kick start kit that yamaha sells

    heh..

    go bump half squids 426 then go try bumping the couch, youll see them new gen. 4smokes are much easier then -previous- gens anyways

    Odd that the race quad has an E-start, damn, some good weight savings there already mang, do it up.

    That YZ450F kicks over almost too easily.

    I have had no trouble what so ever starting the 426. Ussually kicks in the second try. Then again I have only done it 4 times!

    Electric start sucks

    Hmmm, yet another dead battery tonite? an i even took the key out!!

    I know i wouldn't have any trouble kick starting it, IF it had a kickstarter Even at 150lbs, i never had a problem kick starting the 426, the trick is to know how to start that bike.
    Bump starting the 450, i looked like a moron bouncing up and down on the seat while dragging the rear tires down a hill in 3rd gear

    Electric start sucks

    re: 426: Naw, that thing always fired on the first or second kick..it was awesome, but required a bit of know how to figure out how to bumpstart it

    re: Bumping the YFZ: Try 2nd...3rd doesent work well for me either I told you to buy a kickstarter man, not that it has one


    re: YZ450: Yeah, if I havent pissed it off, that thing is started in <30 degrees of kick.
