s.e.lucas Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Its definitely a push rather than a kick as said above, I expect they could be started by hand but I've not tried. Can be done but the lever is painful even wearing a glove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've removed mine and fitted a lanyard switch, so yes I guess. Why? Bike is easier to start if stopped via kill button/lanyard rather than deliberately stalling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmo_kid Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Still looking for one in stock in the eastern half if USA. And I thought I'd be ahead of the curve by buying mid winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmo_kid Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Visited the bike yesterday at the dealer, dropped a deposit, started it. Just like you guys report, and I fully believed you, just a soft push. Man, that compression lowering for starting is amazing, that thing turns over softer than a lawn mower. I'll be riding around in a week or two, lucky our winter is nearly non-existent this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
