You Sir, are A proud Owner of a 10K+ '76-model! Did you mention that later models have a 5° degree forward ankle cylinder? It's about cooling. Keep on uploading! Temporary You are my favorite channel🫡
When kick: leave kick crank in lowest position (approximately 1,5 second) till running. There is "anti-kick-back-mechanism" Most people get feared. I'm just a mechanical dumbo😊
It's about 3 parts: rachet wheel, torsion spring and kick gear sprocket. Often the rachet wheel is broken. When find little broken pieces on bottom of right side cover, it can easily replaced. Prevent bruised right ankle.😂
@@bringthekickback the kit is very easy to remove and totally reversible! if you can't kickstart because you knee is damaged...it is the only way to ride it
He really knows what he's talking about, good post.
Thank you my friend 🙏

fantastic thank you!! more xt500 content please!
beautiful example of an XT 500
Thanks mate! 🤟
That's one pretty XT you have there!
running on the 1st kick - awesome!
Cheers buddy!
Besser den Kicker beim starten immer kurz unten lassen. Dann langsam mit Fuß nach oben nehmen.
So währe es ganz richtig!👍
@@HenryGT3RS das stimmt!
About hot start: when push white button on carb: don't touch throttle-grip. It's about 1,5mm. Very sensitive
That’s a very good addition! Thanks
Muchas gracias!

Thanks Klaus for your addition. That is what someone taught me as well. That mechanism is known to break off tough.

"Anti-kick-back"- mechanism is Japanese genius! Like a normal rachet. But not horizontal. Works axial
@@klausl.2212 Haha beautiful Klaus, you know your mechanics. Have you been riding these bikes for a long time?
Timing and a new capacitor is a big issue. I prefer "dynamic method" with Strobo-timing-light
you could fit an electrical starter made by Nuts and bolts in france : the "xstart" starter kit so simple !
Hell yeah! But that does take the soul away a bit, does it not?

@@HervéHamon-x4i we are the Kickback Company. So not fitting an e-starter. But thanks for the advice! We also mention it in the XT mod video
If it doesn't start right away or if you accidentally goosed the throttle. let the bike sit for a while before trying again.
The thilthiest kickback I ever got was from that dinousour . Felt like broken ankle . Probably was .
Wow. He can actually kick-start a kick-start motorcycle
Learned the hard way. Trust me🤣
