I believe you would have to kick it all at the same time. But the banshee isnt that bad and thats a twin.

lol, sometimes you just have to give people "the look" and tell them "mentaly" that they're wrong. That way you save your breath and avoid an argument. When I first got my ATC 110 my friend asked me "so is that thing 4-wheel drive". I just simply looked at all three wheels, gave him the look and walked off without saying a word. He eventually figured it out. Thats when I told him he was stupid.

What a dumb **edited** . I think that is the stuppidest thing ive ever heard lol.

Ummm wouldn't a twin cylinder 350X be EASIER to kick over since you would only be on the compression stroke of 175cc at any given time?

The new Dodge pickups with the Hemi have that dual sparkplug thing. I'd hate to see the bill for 16 new plugs and wires, esp. if your getting performance plugs and wires.

No wires on the new Hemi, so only plugs. They have electronic coils at each plug now.

My 350x isnt that hard to kick either because it has never been beat or abused. And never road much untill i bought it. My other one on the other hand is a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro to get started! Ask anyone with a 350x a sorta beatin one and they will tell you lol

My 350X has a complete new and reworked top end and it fires right up, but getting the kicker to go down is something else. It goes down easy until you stand on it for the compression stroke. It will stop my 162lbs thrust like nothing. Its not to bad cold, but if I run it for over 10 minutes, shut it down and go to restart its hard as hell. The decompression cable has been set to factory specs and it does work. I would rather kick my 250R any day of the week.

Twins only compress one cylinder at a time, making a Banshee much easier to kick than a 250r or TriZ, and also making them roll backwards (turning the motor backwards) much easier when they dont make a hill, while my 250's will sit there when I hop off. Heck, my CB750F 4 cylinder had a backup kickstarter and it wasnt any harder to kick than my R or Z.

Many 4 strokes have a compression release, and what you feel is not the actual compression, but how the release is setup, and a 350x is one of these. Disconnect it first, then tell us about compression, and how hard it is to kick!

I would rather kick over anything then a 350x but once you get it going its worth it! Idk why im making them look like some monster lol. I dont have a problem starting any of mine! They start first kick every time. With no trouble. LOL
