Give it a shot, brother. The electric starter on my meager 1203cc vtwin gets taxed very quickly.

The problem derf is that they are huge and usually have high compression. Take my chop for example. It ran 11:1 compression and was a 117 Cubic Inch motor. That's like 1950 cc's. I can't even imagine kicking that... WOW!!

kickin big motors is art in motion, and if you dont have a steel shank midsole in your boots, and a well setup carb, forget it. just go sit down.

true, most of the big engine twins have compression releases (probably to make those electric starters last longer lol) ive bent a few kick start levers, and a output shaft, before i decided fuck kickstarting anything hi performance ever again
