To turn the engine over to draw in some fuel and air into the cylinder and to make the spark plug spark to enable the engine to start running on its own.

How do you kick start a 1982 Honda XR500R?

Put the choke in the full choke position. Hold the compression release in, twist the throttle fully open and kick the kick starter 8 times. move the choke to the half choke position and kick the kick starter 2 times with the throttle closed move the kick starter so that you are at the compression point at the bottom of the kick starter stroke and then use the compression release to move the kick starter just past the bottom (full compression) position kick the kick starter from the top all the way through the compression stroke. This will usually start the bike in 1 to 2 kicks, Note: using this method, you do not have to "stand" on the kick starter. If you have enough momentum from the top of the kick stroke, you will have a very easy time of it.

I've have a Polaris Phoenix 220 cc but the kick-starter won't work for a unknow reason there's no force needed to kick it down and nothing happens at all. What can be the cause of this?

The kick starter on a Polaris Phoenix 220cc might not be working because of a loose wire to the starter. If the machine still starts using a key, then check for a broken wire to the starter from the kick starter.

The starter will kick in but it just spins and the engine won't kick over?

Sounds like your starter drive shaft is broken. If the starter is spinning but the shaft they comes out of the nose cone engages, but does not spin, it is most likely broken...You may have other issues causing the problem. www.txdashcovers.com


If the lights still come on and the kick start works sporadically why won't the electric start work on my Yamaha Vino 125?

If the kick starter works, but only works sporadically, but the electric starter won't work at all, this usually means that the starter assembly is bad. The kick start is able to generate enough power manually to create ignition, but the electric is not.
