kick starts bite back!
Starting my bike last week after washing it, the kick start lever bit back.
Each day brings a new shade of purple or yellow to the event, at least it makes Kim laugh.
This is it's course over the last week, it's ongoing joy for sure.

Re: kick starts bite back!
Quite some years ago now someone had the great idea of placing a button on the right hand switchgear linked to a little electric motor acting on the crankshaft .......
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Re: kick starts bite back!
Same people kept the kickstart on things like dirt bikes to give the user a backup option for then the battery decided it had had a hard day. This then refused or even removed the owners requirement to obtain a larger form of transport for recovery or even worse, to push the bike home.
