[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 124418, member: 60"] I think that the answer is 5 posts back #54 get a starter. I am willing to bet a few hundred miles on the beast and the kickstarter will become more effective. The more I read of problems on here, the more I think about the typical original owner in 1960 wheeling his ten year old bike out every weekday morning and riding off to work no sumping problems no starting problems no magneto problems it got him 30 odd miles to work every day in fine style, good value just as fast as the 'modern' unit twins. The basic solution is:[B] Ride it dont hide it, [/B]we dont, (and I include myself in this) ride them enough [/QUOTE]
