csd4t Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Possibly about to push the button on an evo 250, any problems with the LH kickstart? I have a knee replacement on the left. Back in my MX days I had a Maico 500 which was a pig to start had to be off the bike LH side and use my right leg to start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) The 250 Beta is one of the easiest bikes to kick. It is very easy to kick right legged too. Starts first or second kick every time. Edited November 22, 2019 by lineaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 I never found it any inconvenience to start my Beta with my right leg, standing alongside the bike. Certainly wouldn't let a left side kick start put me off buying a great bike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightychub Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Super easy to kick over. My mate has just bought a new 2019 300 and he was really worried about left hand kick but after two outings said it was way easier than he thought it was going to be.

feetupfun Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 When my wife wanted to get a modern bike we got a Beta because it was the easiest 2 stroke for her to kickstart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpauls Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 If you are left handed then a Beta is a bonus. Otherwise it is awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
