[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 100035, member: 59"] The people I have known to have this problem generally start the engine by leaping on the kickstart while the bike is on its stand. If it is on its original rear stand the suspension will take some of the shock when full travel is reached. On a centre stand the cover has to take all of the shock. If the bike is started with its tyres on the ground and the rider astride the engine is rotated by the leg muscles not by the full weight of the rider assisted by gravity and the swing is terminated by the riders foot reaching full downward travel. On some bikes the kickstart lever is down to the ground by this point. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
