Ill will! Cant wait to compare the xride with the explorer.

Oops... it was just a technique issue basically I was just kicking it with the crank midway. What I do now is take it to the top then I use my hands to push it down one notch. Then give it 1 or 2 kicks it fires right up from cold. I can do it justt from sitting down without my left leg high and im only 5'7. Now I cant believe how easy it starts! Lol

Thanks guys for all the input. I passed over all the info you guys gave me to the dealership. I just want to ride it so bad....

I use no throttle just a hard straight jab standing on the pegs with bike leaned up against a wall. But when I had it going I can even be sitting on the bike and give it a good jab and itll start easily...

Guys just seeing if anyone can help me out here. I havethe 2014 explorer bought it brand new. The bike only has 7km on it from goingup and down the block. I had heard the bikes were hard to start so b4 I took it home from the dealership I tried kicking to my surprise 2 sharp jabs the bike started right up. I took it home and the bike wont start. I mustve kicked it for 3 days straight off and on everytime i went in the garage i kicked it.... So called the dealership he said check the plugs so I did. The plug was black and soaked so mustve flooded. I changed a new plug still wouldnt start. My buddy who had a atv gave me a tow and after going a block and half on 5th gear the bike bumped started. We could smell harsh fuel coming from the bike anyways we'll get back to that. So I rode it around for about 5mins no problems at all bike ran great so I turned off the bike. Waited a minute and second kick it fired up rode it around again. Did the the samething turned it off waited a bit sat on the bikegave it a half ass kick and couldnt believe how easy it started. Turned off the bike waited a minuted then I started to smell fuel from the bike again.... wentto kick it and it wont start again!!! What can be the problem it seems like the engines flooding itself....
