Default 89 zilla Hard to kick start...

i am about to get a zilla it runs great but the only problem is its hard as heck to kick start. I weigh about 170lbs and If i jump up in the air a little and kick it it barely budges. Its belongs to my friend ad he's the only person i know of tha t ca kick it over. I was wondering if there is some thing that could be done to it that can help me kick it over. Is this a common thing with zillas?

push the kicker down till its hard to push, then push it down just so it moves, then frees up.

it will feel like that in to different places so u gotta play with it
