    If it won't start after 1 or 2 kicks you need to tune it better.

    I have kick started my blue bike only because I wanted to kick start it. It has both, electric and a kicker. It was cool the first time I did it. Not real fun after that b/C it's a high compression 93" motor. It's quite a task to get her to start with the kicker. It's hard work, it kicks back and it hurts my foot.
    My red bike is a stock 80" motor so it will prolly kick start a lot easier. It looks and feels cool kick starting. I agree with JohnnyBiker~!

    I don't know what you are referring to, but the answer would be no.
