[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 124372, member: 433"] Hello Nulli, as you just said, go over tdc on a Commando and give it a kick works great, I had a 750 SS myself. Now the Commando is a parallel twin that fires every rotation of the crank. A single only fires every second rotation, that is exactly why i suggested to ease the piston over tdc, the slowly press down the kickstart 3/4 of its way, let it return and give it a good kick. Kickstarting my single with is pretty much the same with the Norton box and a really high compression, like Bob's 636cc engines, i very rarely succeed in starting the bike if I kick it just after passing tdc. Cheers Bernd [/QUOTE]
