You might need to replace the kick start gears
First make sure the bike is in neutral and push kick start down on right side of the bike.
depends. can you push start it. need more info.
Is it hard to kick or no matter how many times you kick it wont start? If the second choice is whats happening my guess is low compression. Maybe a compression test and or valve adjustment is in order if you have good fuel and a clean air filter and good spark. My 2000 ktm 400 would not kick start at all only push start. I had very low compression because of worn rings. If you can push the kick starter with your hand and not using the compression release this is your problem.
You can't kick start it unless you buy an aftermarket kick start. To jump start the bike push it or roll it down the street in 2nd gear clutch pulled in, key turned on and when you start to get out of breath jump on and let go the the clutch. RRRRRRRRRRRR
for pe3 you push L1
Kick, Push
1990-1993 models: Hold Compression release in. Kick 5-6 times NO throttle. Then, still holding compression release, kick 5-6 times FULL throttle. Let off Compression release and slowly kick until it pops out, return to top of kick stroke and kick full. Starts mine the first time every time!
turn ignition system and fuel system on then put in 2nd gear and push
You don't
Answerspark plug if it wont start rings for no compression and also the piston if it wont start and the spark plug will make it bog down if its about fouled out
Sounds like you are low on compression. should be 120-130 psi>
try putting your bike in gear and rocking it back and forth...its called priming the piston..only way i can start my ktm cold
