i recently bought an 05 yfz with the gytr kick start. the only thing is, is that it only starts one out of every fifty kicks! i think its because of my high compression piston and i just dont weigh enough to start the damn thing. anyone know how i could convert back to battery? or what i'd need to do it? any help is greatly appreciated!! thanks

check and see if it has the cam mod that will make it esaier to start. I have a kick start on my yfz with a 13.5 compression piston ported polished head etc. and it starts first kick easy

You have to do the cam mod when you are running a kicker... if not its hard to kick.

google search "yfz450 cam mod" you will fidn alot of info on it!
