kick start pedal. it seems that this is in the way, but maybe this is normal. in kicking this down i never hear the engine engaging. i have the key in on position. is there something else that i need to do?
that's your center stand. get to know it, make it your friend. fold the kick start lever in, put the bike up on that center stand, unfold the kick start lever. set key to on, kill switch to run, and give the kick start a...well, kick. do this by standing to the rear left of the bike, with one hand on the rear grab-rail. set right foot on kick
