    It's got the magic button so you probably will not ever need to kick it, but in the off chance you do, find a stump or large boulder/rock. I would hate to see you break a nice kickstand.

    I have to say I do not want to break it! Bit on the short side here at 5'4'' some things on a dirt bike are a challange!

    Always stop on a hill so's you can bumpstart it:D
    Also, if you have a choice, stop in a rut so you will be closer to the ground.

    I might suggest getting familiar with the kickstarter even though you've got the happy button. The battery gets sluggish on my KTM 450 EXC quite frequently and knowing I can kickstart it at a moment's notice brings great peace of mind.

    Like WoodsChick said...get to know the kickstart before you have to!

    I'm 5'9" and had to cut my seat down (1-2") for the knarly stuff so I could dab, but I'm finding that I'm standing more often now!

    You're only 5'9" ?? Aww...poor baby...:rolleyes:

    I'd sell what's left of my soul if I thought it would get me a few more inches:p

    I had my son cut my seat down also, now I can touch my toe sort of I just have a little problem starting and stoping in the begining but most of that is over now. If I still feel like it next winter I will have some taken out of the suspension but that will be a last resort. I just is great to be back spending time with my boys!

    Nice. I have had no issues with mine but that is a cool mod which I'm sure makes it really strong.

    Your camaro is :notworthy:

    Wish I still had my 70 1\2 RS, I've got a soft spot for the split bumper Camaro's, they're worth a fortune now. But I was just a street punk at the time & never thought of keeping it after the engine blew :banghead:

    Geez, were a pretty similar group here. I also had a 69 Z28. Was my first car, paid $5K for it, threw a ton a money at it over the years and sold it about 8 years ago for too cheap.

    I also had a 73 Camaro RS split bumper, traded my 81 IT 250 for it, but it needed some work & at that point girls & parties took over, I was out of dirt bikes & out of time to work on cars. But I'll never forget about my big block street racer 70 1\2 RS
