do not put your hand on the gas when you kik it .
you always open it e litle bit, and that is what causes the kikback

Funny, my YZ 400F would start first or second kick nearly every time But you had to open the throttle just a very tiny amount too much and it would kick back and almost break you pelvis.

My TTR600E starts on the button............ wicked.
