Today, my sister's W650 wouldn't start with the electric starter, so I went to check on it. The engine started after I kicked it three times. My sister couldn't get it to start no matter how many times she kicked. We recorded each other's kicking technique on video, and I sent it to my sister for review. I watched the video too, and my sister's kicking style was exactly like this video I saw five years ago (laughs). I really think this family is wonderful. JP
The early motors are higher-compression , plus she didn't have the lever positioned just forward of her heal, in the arch of her foot, that combined with lack of technique , stopped her driving her leg 'through'. You can badly injure-yourself that way . She wasn't going to give up though , sign of a True bike-lover ! Dave NZ
