...just behind the exhaust outlet?Nobody do an extension harness to move it somewhere betterer.

Is it a fool bridge rectum-fryer?
no extension required, just move the braket round so instead of behind the rad, its on the side of the engine.. visible, but cool...just behind the exhaust outlet?
And you are getting as cheeky as him too!!!Is it free? you know Kev. I didnt see a price mentioned so must be. Top man giving away your Tat you cant sell.

I worked on my mates bikes a lot before I could afford a car. Matchless, AJS, Triumph 650,etcKick starts went out of fashion for some reason.
My Zed has 1 as does the XT, but the Duc doesnt and its the 1 that is most prone to eating a battery so could do with 1.
Modern tech is wonderful as we all know.

He had one he couldn't start but he knew this little bikey girl who came around and kicked it into action first thing.
We'd both had tries and therefore went red!
I'm sort of average size and weight but my mate was a serious rugby player, played for the Racing club de France etc. so beefy wasn't in it. So he was dead embarrassed.
Think it's a knack and presumably too many folks just didn't have it so they went to electric. Or was it to do with higher compression ratios?
I watched a German geezer kick his BMW tourer over a few times just to get some oil in the bores before putting the keys in and firing it up with ignition & Electric start. Proper "hardcore" engine minding that is I reckon.Without the right technique on big singles or older twin bikes, you could well end up being pushed over the handlebars and end up with a broken ankle. Mate of mine did and he was wearing good boots, he ended up on his back on a petrol station forecourt. I have refitted the decompressor on the XT as that is the most likely 1 to kick my arse in the air if I get it wrong, before I fitted it I was very careful. the Zed is easy.
But have heard many stories of blokes not knowing where to put the engine stroke before giving it a good kick and ending on their arse.

Yes there is a knack to firing up a big brit single. Handed down from father to son. Fuel on, couple of swings on the kick starter with the decompressor held in, bring onto compression and ease it over the top, followed by a hefty kick start with the decompressor released.I worked on my mates bikes a lot before I could afford a car.
