      East Oaklands Artie Bo-Bo it’s a kick for a race bike that you just lean the bike against it’s like a kickstand but you can remove it, it’s like if you just leaned the back tire on a metal pipe

    my trusty old cr80 bumpstarts without me having to jump to keep it rolling, i just roll, shift to first gear, release the clutch, give it a little gas so it dosent die, and then i pull the clutch in again, rev it and then release the clutch again. i think it works with other bikes

  • @coastalmphoto
    @coastalmphoto 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    You can just run with it then tap first gear or second gear and when it kicks over put it in neutral and warm it up.

    Dude!!! Thanks alot!!! This saved my life after 1 hour of trying those normal bike method that asked you to go to 2nd gear!!!

    • @StanleyKubick1
      @StanleyKubick1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      2nd gear is easier on the engine, as it doesn't have as much torque

  • @anonymos36
    @anonymos36 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you've got a bike with more compression than a 125 (250F>) you'll most likely need to go into second for a roll start. It will have too much compression, the back wheel will lock, and it wont start.

  • @FyreFox94
    @FyreFox94 13 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    this is great for any new rider, and will help people who don't know how to do it. couldn't have explained it better, however with a four stroke don't shift down, shift up into second gear, this is because the four stroke engine has higher compression then a 2 stroke, I'm not sure why mechanically it makes a difference, i believe its the torque and gear ratio spin the crank faster and easier in a higher gear is what id assume I don't question what works haha i just use what works for me.

  • @svenskan007

  • @francescobalestrieri7096
    @francescobalestrieri7096 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Try second gear, even though second is a taller gear, the engine has a lot of compression, and in first you could if you are not careful damage your transmission.

    • @jonathanoxlade4252
      @jonathanoxlade4252 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      dude these bike will do 3rd gear starts with a reklus torge Drive clutch system plus if your racing and you know doing 3rd gear is gona get the clutch a little bit hotter but a reklus is more expensive and is designed to be pushed a lot harder I would never do 3rd gear starts on a stock bike tho ile change it out with a upgraded clutch that is lighter than stock and more heavy duty for abuse and more power to the ground aswel

  • @BullToTheShit
    @BullToTheShit 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I think sitting down with force is to help get traction on the back wheel so it doesn't just lockup & skid.

  • @decelerate

    Ya when you jump down on your bike the swing arm will move and want to progress the motion your going by tightening the chain I believe.

  • @Haderg33
    @Haderg33 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The easiest way is to put it in first have the clutch pulled in rin as fast as you can with the bike and release the clutch some times it's on it's firing stroke and it dosent work but just do it a few times and I'm Shure it will work

      triangle kick stand most big bike use them because there is usually no room for a kickstand

    • @crcmoto3751
      @crcmoto3751 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Zabel Maple I wouldn't say that there is no room, I'd say it's a saftey hazard to ride a mx bike(made to race) on a track with a kickstand bouncing around. if it happens to come down you could die. id say saftey/weight before no room... just my opinion though.

  • @Young67013

  • @jamsk813
    @jamsk813 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @kawasakirider86 Go ahead and attempt it without jumping on any high compression four stroke above 250cc. Youll be draggin the rear tire all day.

  • @jjustj
    @jjustj 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    after over 40 years riding off road bikes........ dont use first gear!!! for bumpstarting ever.. too much compression 3-4 maybe even 5th if on steep hill mush easier to turn an engine over unless your engine has No compression!

  • @hockeykingish
    @hockeykingish 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    in my opinon cheaper to maintain than a 4 stroke but each to there own 2 strokes require a bit more skill to ride 4 strokes you can be on the trottle all day 2 strokes you gotta get the high rpms

  • @TheOilman747
    @TheOilman747 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    He should of named this compression start cause that's what it really is not push start that the real name but compression start is also but that's why kick start bikes suck and even kick start old quads suck I like the new electric start no fucking trying to break you leg and get pissed off at kicking a starting a bike over just to ride with electric all you need to do is hit a button and your off riding now that's smart oil man out

  • @Fatdoe_
    @Fatdoe_ 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    my dad had a four stroke with compreshion and he pulled in the this leaver (i think it was the clutch) to let some compreshion out cuz its hard to start if it has a lot. After that he just jumped on the bike (with a kickstand /milkcreat) then he jumped in the air ON THE BIKE the bike and kept kicking it like that till it started. Now he has a cr480 2 stroke and he need a buket but he gets on the bike jumps in the air and stops hard in the kicker. hope i helped

  • @223JER
    @223JER 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    dnt put it in first that will mess ur bike up.
    put it in 3rd, hold the clutch in push it fast as u can just on it and just bounce on the seat and let go of the clutch at the same time.

    @MotocrossHideout  13 ปีที่แล้ว
