brp kick start problem?

[BIG RED]

my kick starter every once and a while when i am giving it a real hard kick to start feels like it will skip one tooth. my bike is still on warranty and when i called the shop they say they will have to tear into it to see if there is a problem. If this is a normal thing for these bikes i would rather they don't mess with it.if anyone else has experienced this please let me know

Thanx

Mine will act like it is grinding or binding up. Sounds like the same thing you are talking about. I have had my side cover off and looked at it. Nothing wrong. I have heard a couple of others say the samething. I would not worry about it unless it gets worse.

mine does the same thing, but only when trying to start w/o decompression.

Ditto on that. That skip you describe makes me a little nervous when I am far from home, but the next kick or two it fires up.

well it is starting to look like it's the nature of the beast!! sure am glad i didn't let them tear open my engine ??

If you just kick it out of the blue you'll feel that. Find TDC (top dead center... you know the spot that will kick you off if you weight less than 200 pounds), bring it up 1 or 2 clicks and kick it hard. You'll never feel it again. The BRP has auto-decompression and I would have to think you're feeling that system trying to work. Not sure.

The idle setting is important mine likes it on the rich side and if it sits for awhile I put the choke on and it starts first kick, then there's the old big bore 2 stroke trick allways park on a hill, put it in 2nd gear get rolling and let the clutch out.

Mine does it too - I've always assumed it was just down to me still not getting my head round the auto-decomp.

I'm getting the autodecomp removed when I change the cam, but it's never caused me a problem. ?
