Okay okay, the answer is out there, 7000 YouTube videos etc...... 64 years on!
Still.....
Only had my Bullet a few days, but I have a question..
Mine is 2006, but I understand most likely a 2004. Kickstart four speed.
Query, I do not have a decompressor (separate question, was it removed? Did some not have one?)
Okay, general consensus is, wait for ammeter deflection to minus (my feeling minus because points closed, current being pulled.
But.... previous owner has fitted electronic ignition. Some places say you can’t use the ammeter deviation with electronic ignition.
So, how do I start my bike?
Best I have found is to bring it to what I think is Just before TDC, listening to intake suction, ammeter on minus and kick.
Generally this is working best for me, rather than waiting for ammeter to go to zero.
Sometimes it has taken a few kicks, but sometimes first kick.
Any feelings? thanks.
John
