Earlier models this is what we were told to do by AL Bakers XR's only back in the day ( of course at first i didn't heed the advice to the step #1): 1. Throw away the decompression lever and cable (unless you are weak :) ) 2. Bring kick start lever to top dead center ....when you hear the first *click* 3. NO GAS ON THROTTLE! 4. Kick it like you mean it If you do this correctly, you will start your bike in the dead of winter like I have, 5 kicks tops. Larger pilot jet helps too.

@hans1111985. I know the 83 xl600r I had a manual and auto decompression levers.

Very good comment! I ONLY use my decomp. lever if i lay it over to clear out the gas. absolutely no need on normal start up.

That is a 4.0 clarke or ims gas tank ? looks good...

I believe it was 85-87. In 88 alot of things were changed on the bike. 85-87 bikes were identical except I think the 87 no longer had the digital speedo, not sure. From 88 onwards, the bike was very different. It dropped a carb, frame geometry was changed and used a nikasil plated cylinder if I am not mistaken. I had ridden the 1990 XR 600, mine has a bit more top end. Could be due to the dual carbs. SIngle carb is better for maintenance reasons. 2 carb setup was better for top speed.

hey, oldschool double carburetors :) 85-88 models had two decompression levers - auto and manual if i´m not mistaken. friend of mine has 87 XR and its running pretty good. but engine inside is a lot different from 89+ models

I might add that with earplugs and a helmet and being a bit hard of hearing to start with, I use the compression release because it works every time for me...and I'm 60 years old so kicking it more than twice requires a nap. :)
