Starting the KDX in Gear

Post by gtoron »

Well as I said in my earlier post the bike is brand spanking new, but I have a question.
After I stalled the bike two or three times I can't seem to fire the bike up in gear. If I put the bike in neutral...1 kick and she lights right up. In gear nothing. Is this normal? Am I doing anything wrong?

Comments please.

After a few months... you should be able to start it in gear... but right now... you have 100% clutch with no wear. The kicker has to turn the motor fast enough to light it... the clutches with the motor in gear slows that down too much to fire.

It will always be harder to start in gear than in neutral. Keep your clutch cable adjusted to minimum freeplay for best results.
