I have a 1998 yz400f. Most reliable, easy to start, fastest and best running bike I have ever ridden. You have the starting procedure wrong too, you get it in tdc, pull the decompression lever, get it to -1 which is literally like a 1 inch drop on the kicker, let go of the decompression lever, let the kicker go back to the top and give it one good kick. It will move like a 2 stroke and fire quick and easy
I have had both 450 and 426. I would say the 426 is more but it is short one gear. I bought my 426f and the sales man offered me 1k off if I could start it in the first 3 kicks. Now I know how to start it. Pull the compression release bring it to TDC then just off TDC and kick it. Fired right up 1st kick. 1K in my pocket lol. Was a Great bike just felt like you needed one more gear

i dont even use my compression release but i also have a yamaha yz400f not a 426
Yz400f and yz426f are the foundation of four stroke motorcross if it wasnt for them they wouldnt have created the 450
Fix them dirtbikes right! Good job. -Michigan
