I'd rather bump it than kick it over - too many bikes try to bite back....

Hi O-B ,
Bumping on dirt is not easy, probably need at least 3rd and a fast runner to stop the wheel locking up on compression :(

of course you can add the automatic decompressor of the Saturno also to the Nordie. All there. You only need the parts and will have to fiddle them in.

ciao Joachim

PS bump start ist trying to start while pushing the bike?
Good luck :laugh:

I did not bother with the decompressor when I fitted a kickstart to my RC it is only for emergency use ;)

Some times called run and bump - only for the young and strong on dirt :S

+1 on the decompressor. If that kicked you back you'd end up flying 20 foot closer to where you wanted to be with the addition of a gammy leg.

A T140 bit me several months ago and I still get a twang in me right leg. Bump it.
