Does anyone have a video on the right way to kickstart the 290?????
just to make sure im not doing anything silly
Note: After spending £75 on a new lever i think i need to look at retarding the timing slightly!!!!!!!!

There are different ways to kick them. Some stand up on the pegs and others bring the whole body weight down standing on the ground, not just extending the leg.
It is best to closely control the kick and concentrate to avoid the kick back that I think causes the breakage.
Look at how other riders start them, allowing for weight age skill etc.

I still think a well positioned bike and a good full stroke is the best way to wake them up. A limp kick may kick back, and if your bars are turned right, may well hurt a knee(ouch)! Been there! And a bit less timing advance helps a lot!

Ordered my kickstart earlier, cant beleive the price on them, but without one the bike is useless so its one of them things.
bought a flywheel puller aswell so i can retard the timing slightly.
hopefully i wont be snapping the new one then????????????//
