Too much wind noise. It was only a minute long how hard is it to do this over.

The thing I hate the most on a video is when its blowing. god I hate it !!!!

Or upgrade the manually decompression for an automatic . It's only a few bucks and you will save that much on Ibuprofen .

[barmtrail]

Another good idea is leave the kick stand down. It helps when you are first learning how to start the XT. When all else fails, just hold the throttle wide open, works everytime.

Get a fucking windscreen, cool bike

I've got a high compression piston and dellorto pumper carb. i wish it was as simple to start as yours. But when it starts what fun it is.

[bulletman100]

Well, just when he got to the good part about where to set the crank with the compression release, the wind took over. That's kinda the inportant part, you know. Please re-record it inside your garage or something!

If I remember correctly, you can feel the decompression lever rise slightly under your fingers when it's at the right point..

[bulletman100]

Its like my royal enfield used to be. Feel for compression with the kicker, pull in the decomp and bump it past TDC, let go of decomp, then you can kick it with your hand and start it using flywheel momentum. The trick is to have the bike tuned up and running well. TT and XT are prone to stock carb. issues.

[braaup]

unbelievable. you can't even understand what he says with all the wind! please tape another and take this one off.

[plezurhounds]

I love my XT!!!

[FordsSuck95]

ha, you would have to be a real idiot if you didn't know how to start it after watching this
