best bike I ever had... hard to start until you get to know it but will get you any were, plus it pulls like a tractor.... towed my mates mini all the way home when he broke down. I did have to sit on the petrol tank when pulling away but it got him home. love this awesome bike.

I feel stupid asking but do you always leave the fuel switch set to ON? Having trouble startin a hot engine but noticed I had it set to PRI..

If I left the fuel tap on or off it never made a difference... it was always hard to start. every SR500 is different you just have to get to know it. For example the little window that shows you top dead centre to start is just a suggestion... on mine I had to set it just past TDC then it wouldn't kick back and take the skin off my shin and start. Have fun and if you don't want it let me know. Hope you have fun on the best bike ever.

the hot start button on the carb that cracks the throttle open is heaven sent when starting a hot bike. A lot of people pull the throttle when kicking, which dumps more fuel in every time, and makes it impossible to start. Make sure you are not doing that. As David said though, each is a little different, and it takes time to learn your bike.

Do you hold the decompression lever the whole time youre kicking it? Or just to get it to tdc?
@hodaka1000

No not to start it you find compression then using the decompression lever you move the piston just very slightly past TDC Once you understand that you'll never need to look at the kick indicator window again You also use the decompression lever to roll it over a few times before attempting to start it to prime it for starting and you use it to clear the cylinder if flooded With the standard carburettor these things will flood at the drop of a hat but they are easy to clean using the decompression lever

Black paint is shoddy, and if it should be offroad it should be the xt500! Whole thing reeks of ignorance and bad taste. My opinion: A motorcycle spoiled!
