I had an '09 300 pro for 2 years and have swapped to a new 250 pro and love it plenty of power even for a 16 stone 'athlete' like me.
my next bike will be another 250.
I have an 09 300 pro which will start easily with the following technique.
Put bike in gear
with clutch out pull bike bacwards so piston goes to TDC
pull in clutch
kick
I now use this method every time I start the bike warm or cold - much easier and a lot less stress on kickstart assembly
Hmmmm!
sounds pretty straightforward!
thank you all for your input I'm off to buy a horse.
What is the likely cost of any third party/ public liability insurance cover specifically for trials ?
I have a 40 acre woodland with stream, rocks, roots, cambers, hillclimbs and steps,
the venue has been used since the 1970's for trials.
What are the legal implications of allowing riders to practice for a daily fee.

I picked up a pair of oiled Gaerne boots from BVM a few weeks ago they a fab so far very comfy and well made, I grease em up with nikwax to keep them flexi.
I got 17 years out of my last pair of No Stop Alpines........ lack of bike for 14 of those years!
