I never had any trouble kick-starting Harleys, but I don’t weigh 130 lbs, either.

My Yamaha SR-400 is kickstart only. I weigh 155 lbs. I have to be pretty precise with the compression release. It is less finicky than my BSA Victor 500 was in 1978.

Ha! Try a 1954 BSA 500 single with a 13:1 racing piston. Cheezus.
