250-500cc Starting the 300, method and solution :)

I think the best advice I could take from the above is a little bit of all of it and alot of what Rob has said.

Push/kick back in the direction of the rear axel. This worked everytime first time by moving forward on the bike and with one solid kick back she started without fail.

Thanks everyone

Glad I could help

After getting used to the kicker on my WR250, I prefer to start it over my Honda CR125.

I started to chuckle...

I was thinking of the early left side kick starters...

I'm 6' 2'' and had this down pat. Off the bike and kick.

The old hare scramble starts were dead engine, standing in front of the bike, facing the bike, straddling the front tire with your
hands on the wrong side of the bars.

Getting around, starting the bike, getting it in gear and getting a hole shot was a feat second to none!

You'll get used to it...each bike is a little different.

I think the reason I was having so much trouble was because Im use to riding thumpers only except for the ktm300 which I only had a short while.
4 strokes have totally different kicking method and direction IMO.

I had hells own trouble kicking mine over when it was warm.
Now I just crack the throttle a tiny bit when I kick and it is first time all the time!

Im getting the Keihin carb and race head fitted in the next week as soon as it arrives and can only hope it will get even easier to start.
