[1] Be sure the fuel petcock is in the 'on' position
[2] Be sure the switch on the left side handlebar is in the 'run' position
[3] Turn the ignition key switch to the 'on' position
[4] Pull up on the choke **** on the carburetor
[5] Might have to give it a little throttle [depends on the tune]
[6] Be sure it's in Neutral
[7] Kick it

Don't forget to make sure there is gas in the tank.
If the oil pump is blocked off, make sure there is oil mixed in with the gas.

It depends on the clutch adjustment. One adjusted loose will be hard to crank in Neutral....if it cranked at all. If adjusted tight, It's not going to be a problem.

If I'm not sure, I put it in Neutral.

Besides, if someone is asking how to crank one....I do believe it's a safe bet that they should be in Neutral.

warriormegamax,

Even with a properly adjusted clutch, it can be harder to kick start in gear if the engine is cold. Once it warms up you should be okay. I have a Raptor and always make sure it is in neutral even with the electric start. The bike will jump forward a few inches if I try to start it in gear with a cold engine. The same was true for all 6 of my Yamaha MX bikes.
