kickstart problem

[woodyc]

Hi everyone, just bought a 98 XR600 and seem to have a problem starting it after crashing/stalling it when out and about. Sometimes it starts 1st time, other times it can take up to 5 mins. Any help would be gr8. Cheers.

Mines a pig if it's been down (99 xr600), I find it need's full throttle.
even a stop/stall when hot requires a handfull.
there is a thread on xr400 starting, that has a few tips worth a try.

If you've dropped it, been upside down or stalled it try this,

put the kill switch on, open the throttle as wide as it'll go and push the kickstarter right through a few times. Reset the kill switch, shut the throttle and just start normally.

cheers for that, I'll have a look and give it ago.
