dude only just turned 15 and im an average height for my age and i get on alright... havent gone out for ages but i started it up yesterday and its fine... first kick everytime mate just gotta take care of it and it'll be fine...
@LedZeppe I let my bro change the oil on my 400ex and he did the same thing...I took it to a machine shop and had them get it out...after that I bought a torque wrench and never let him touch it again...
Well i have an xr 400 and for a cold start. put the gas on, then choke up. Then hold down the compression lever then pump it 20 times or so. then kick it and let it run in full choke for a minute or so, then put it to half choke and do it again. You may have to feather the throttle. Its bad for the bike when you rev it up to high. When you turn the choke off you should be ready to ride.
my 04 xr 400 has the snorkel removed and the bike will NOT run with choke on at alll. starts first kick with no choke.and runs much better. take the seat off and cut it out best thing you can do.
well because most bikes that come ready to be registered have electric starts? And no when the end of the world comes i am not getting one of these they are slow.
Nice bike dude I grew up on these bikes they are the best nothing can compare.
I'm 5'8'' tall and the height is perfect. I don't get to ride very often, and mine sits for months at a time. Always starts on First or Second kick.
I had an 81 xl 500 & it would start every time. Even after a complete rebuild, first kick!

Awesome bike mate bikes don’t get any better in my opinion than these so reliable and easy maintenance, and no rebuilds!!!!
Usually two or three kicks on a cold start and my XR400R starts right up.
I ham heading for the desert on my bike this Saturday, I can't wait.

turn signals are like 15 bucks a pair. horns are cheap too. thats about all you'd need to make one street legal.
Super fun bike..big smiles..
Love these machines
badass bike man!

There is Blenzol that you can mix with it.

@southerngrown308 then why do you have a video of a yz125 with the description saying 'my bike' which shows you struggling to get off it..?

you have to be very tall if you want to own one of these
And it has Dual carburator's that need to be jetted the same or the engine won't work properly.
