Tips for kick starting a tenere
I bought a '83 Tenere yesterday but have problems kick starting it. I am 82kg so I should have enough weight to do it.
I used to have an old Harley Davidson that was twice the engine size yet twice as easy to start. The trick there was to have the “hardest” part at about 12:00 to 2:00 o’clock and jump down hard to 6:00 o’clock. However, someone told me that with the Tenere, I shouldn’t have the hardest part at 2:00 o’clock. I was told the secret is once it is hard at 2:00 o’clock, to then push down slowly once all the way and on the next stroke jump like all hell with a bit if choke.
What are your tips for starting a Tenere?
