Kicking?

well we are all used to kicking on the other side, so it is kind of a pain. I seem to remember using a longer aftermarket kicker on mine.....i also remember bump starting it out of lazyiness quite a bit. I lived on a hill at the time....

I first kicked my 250 from the left side/right foot. Then I got used to the awkward left foot routine, and people looked at me like I was a pint short of a gallon.

This thing has sooooo much compression. I'll never be able to kick it sitting on the bike. I could have sworn I tore a hole in the sole of my work boot, so I have a pair of MX boots on order.

Dirty?????? Dusty is more like it. We haven't had any rain in what seems like a couple of years. Only thing growing is weeds and rocks.
I'll get more pics asap.

Anyone recall what head gasket the 480 has stock.
I peeked between the fins and saw a really thin copper shim gasket.
