    The video below is our new '09 TXC 250... I can do this EVERY time, hot or cold. The E-start is completely useless on this bike. I'm in LOVE! It was less than one year ago that I was kicking my KTM 250 SXF and Cody was kicking his CRF 250R at least 10 times to get them going! The Honda was more like 20 times... errrrrr 30... well, OK, 40!

    I LOVE Husky! :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

    Starting our Husky!

    I likes it!:applause: That's one of the great things about my TE too. I can kickstart it in tennis shoes. (even though you made it look easy in the video, I don't think I would try to crank it by hand)

    Trust me Dirt Dame, it really IS as easy as it looks. I may try to con my wife into trying it too for another video! I'm convinced she could do it with minimal effort.

    Did I say I LOVE Husky???? :D

    I'm sure that it's easy for you; just not for me. I can kick my CR85 over by hand (at least I could a couple of years ago.:p)

    The really funny part is I almost never kick it any more. It push starts at walking speed so i just roll it forward and go. Down not take much to overcome a little tinny piston.

    I'm taking a day off tomorrow so Cody can get some break-in time on the TXC. I think I may have to ride it most of the time to make sure it's broke-in "properly"... :D

    Sweet video man! :thumbsup: I love the warning about cardiac arrest. I have started my TC450 by hand a couple times by hand too. Also to make fun of honda riders. Love them huskys.

    Can you let it get so hot it is boiling over, throw it down on the ground, then pick it up and do the same thing? If so then I will have one less reason to not want a four stroke.
