Hi,
I think your model may well be a 1VJ, if it has a kickstart as standard - see [url=http://www.tenere.ch/english/etenerestory.html] for a comparison.
Try pulling in the clutch lever, and gently move the kickstart a few times, before turning the ignition on. - (use to do this on older [pre-unit engine] bikes to free up the clutch plates, which I guess suffered from using thicker oil and stuck frequently).
The decompression adjustment does make a big difference to the kickback, and you should find the adjustment procedure in one of the service manual links above?
The starter motor not spinning fast enough is a problem I have from cold too. I would love to solve it! (Fyi, I eventually fitted a 1VJ kickstart mechanism to my 3AJ).
Good luck,
Geoff
