Starting Posted yesterday at 07:16 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:16 PM Just picked up a brand new Beta EVO 300 Factory with kick starter on left side of motor. This is a new one for me. Being 65 years old my kick starting oomf aint quite what it once was. Tried to start it today, no luck. I am looking for some tips. Is it better to stand over it and use right leg or stand off it and use right leg? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtas Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I kick mine left footed fine but it does have a bit of compression. I would recommend that you remove the high compression head which is fitted to the factory model and put on a low compression one like they fit to the standard model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a small person, also 65, and it was extremely hard to start my Gasgas but after I reduced the compression with a 1mm head spacer the world was much rosier. Replacing the head insert or adding a head spacer will make it much easier to kick over. https://trialssuperstore.com/products/beta-evo-s3-low-compression-head-insert-300?srsltid=AfmBOorOsQLwFqYdzcC2hekw1AWgZSnGvXZNEch3bDhi56zw0dxAfsnV Edited 25 minutes ago by RonH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
