I own a 1968 900cc XLCH iron head sportster. Iam 76 years old and still kick start it. It takes a technique. You definitely don't want to flood it, he did, if you do, just walk away for a while, come back, open the throttle fully, kick it a time or two. It may backfire, but that is good. He also got a taste of the recoil that these engines can give you. Mine recoiled on me once so bad that it kicked me over the handlebars. If you go through what this kid did, you don't ever want to shut it down, trust me, I know.

Amazing that the kid kicked it for 10 minutes. More amazing is that Dad let him kick it for 10 minutes without telling him how. My 79 shovel will start with 3 to 5 good kicks. There is technique!!! 2 or 3 primer kicks ignition off to get oil primed in the motor. Then turn in the ignition find the compression stroke by or top dead center. Then kick the bike. I like to kick from the right side (same as the kick starter). Less likely to kick back because you keep more weight on the kick starter. Usually cranks 3 to 5 after sitting for a few months. I’ve never kicked a pan but the process is the same as with the shovel. Nice video. I would have give up at that age.

One of my friends got seriously hurt while kicking a bike. He was playing in the mud, and the bike stall. It's an xt 550 btw. So, as he was kicking it, the decompressor diabled itself somehow, and his leg slipped off the kickstart, and the kickstart went straight trought his calf. Be careful with big bikes, they can get you hurt :D
