Just found this old thread on here and I need to comment!!!
VERY IMPORTANT!! With the key turned off use the kickstart and find TDC!
to find the TDC go as said before... "kick" it only by putting your weight pressure on the kickstart or similar but not that power kick to turn the bike on.
You will find a point were you have alot of resistance! from there apply just a tiny bit of force until it passes that point and locks again and let the kickstart come back all the way up! YOU ARE THERE!
Now, on my bike I give it FOUR full quick throttles with the choke ON, TURN ON THE KEY and give it a big powerfull kick and it ALWAYS turn the bike on!
On a side note, If you have a complete dead battery on the post-1990(included) XT600E bike, no matter how much you try and kick the bike to life you WON'T BE ABLE TO! trust me on this lol!!
