I have a 1VJ Tenere 1986 and my problem is that, whenever I try to kick-start my bike, it backfires, pops and spits flames when trying to find TDC. It starts fine with the starter motor.
Thanks in advance

Bike backfires when started with kickstarter
Hi everyone!
I have a 1VJ Tenere 1986 and my problem is that, whenever I try to kick-start my bike, it backfires, pops and spits flames when trying to find TDC. It starts fine with the starter motor.
Thanks in advance

Re: Bike backfires when started with kickstarter
As an experiment to try to find the problem, do not turn the ignition on until after you have positioned the piston at just after TDC (ideal kicking position).
Turn ign on and then kick.
Let us know what happens.

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!

He probably had to adjust his auto decompression. Was most likely not opening the valve on kick.
