Does A KX 500 Kick Forward or Back?

Need to know.

Back, the correct way

Back, the correct way

No wonder I can't kick my 500 over. I always thought it was from too much compression.

So Polar-Bus, if you have been jumping from the roof and starting your bike kicking forward, does your bike then have reverse and run backwards?  hehehe...  maybe that's why we have so many kickstarter issues, lol.  Got me smilin'.

Sly, heres my deal
Me an my bros like things different, we start a moto "Lemans" style where you run over to your bike, fire it up, and "go like stink". This presents me with a dilima as all 500 guys know. I always loose. So I improvised, and started parking my 500 next to a roof. As long as my aim is good, I win every time, if my aim is bad, I end up with 2 broken legs. (You sand guys have NO idea how hard it is racing 14 year old kids on 85's with a 500.......

Hehehe...   you are very right.  There is no kid on a 85 racing against me in the sand...  because school would definately be in!  You have 14 y/o bro's?  That's cool,  sounds like fun and good memories for you guys.

Just a suggestion purely out of the competitive spirit that most men have...  maybe work more on getting your bike to the sweet spot for a one kick start (LeMans style).  I can say with 99% absolution that I can get my bike to start on the first mediocre kick and be ready to put the smack on some doubters...   hehehehe.

Its fun to hear what everyone else is doing on their 5's around here.  I am just glad that my bike can't read these posts and see the pictures of where the other 5's get to go and do around the world!  It would feel a little jealous and neglected I am sure....  lol!
