my blaster always fires up pretty easy but it does have low stock compression (6:6:1). is kicking a thumper over harder than kicking a two stroke over? my guess would be yes because the piston moves twice as quick as a thumper piston.

 

I had a Suzuki 400 4 stroke thumper that was much easier to kick over than any of my 250 2 stroke motorcycles. I had a couple of 2 stroke Bultacos that would raise huge welts on the back of your calf if your foot slipped off the kick start.

 

ya..... have you guys ever kicked over a quadzilla.....talk about leaving a welt!

 

I can sit down and kick my banshee with the short kicker it has but i bet if it ever snapped up it'd leave you thinking twice before your next kick. is the quadzilla really that hard to kick? a 500 2 stroke sounds like it would be.

 

Try kicking a Honda XL600 dirt bike without compression release. Talk about an ankle breaker.

 

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] , i think id be scared of that bike(xl600). have you ever had that thing come back and snap you in the back of the leg? if so, im suprised it didnt break your leg ! how bout that 650r four stroke dirt bike? thatd be enough to kill someone. doesnt honda have an 850 dirtbike?or just a 650? those prolly have compression release.

 

650 is elec. start no 850 that I know of.

 

o, i bet that saved a leg, i thought i saw an 850 dirtbike, guess not.
