[QUOTE="Harfend, post: 203168, member: 3724"] Update: So I tried to start my bike again this last week end. The compression is extremely high but the same as last time because I used the same amount of base gaskets to arrive at the recommended "X measurement." However, I re-read the set-up instructions for the ignition which had recommended setting the initial timing from 2-4 mm BTDC. Last time I used 2mm and this time I used 3mm. I have got some WICKED kick back now which resulted in this: [ATTACH]28820[/ATTACH] The lever also ripped a two inch hole in my boot! I just can not seem to get used to the left side kick start lever on this bike! I realize the timing is too far advanced and will reset it closer to TDC for the initial timing but it will be a while before I try to start the bike again. Man, this damn bike has been nothing but a fight since I got it and I haven't even rode it yet!!! HARFEND [/QUOTE]
