[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 15158, member: 456"] Hi David, I have gone back and re-read Tom's piece and you might be right. It is the bit about easing it over and finding the rear cylinder etc. which has me confused.. I just lift the valve lifter, turn the engine over a few times to make sure everything is free and then just push down hard on the kick starter without paying any attention to where the engine rotation is and let go of the valve lifter half way through the down stroke. It works for me and does not put undue strain on any of the kick starter parts. Being one of natures shorter people I find Dave Hills center stand a real asset in this as I can leave the bike on the stand and stand on the left hand footrest to give me extra height. [/QUOTE]
