DUDE!! I've been kicking my new to me XR400 2001 to death, tried this, and BAM, it started right right up!!! Thank you for posting this, now it's time to go riding!
I just restored a 96 I did a 10-1 wiseco piston with a wiseco top end and a mikuni 36 mm. Pumper. Whole new bike when I get it properly jetted of course. Right now it’s just not kicking over nicely
They are also lean from factory and need to breathe better. Carb- 160 main 60 pilot Needle in 3rd groove Uni Filter and open exhaust some. If stock, drill 3, 1/4” holes in spark arrester.
My aunt's 40yo Honda glx, you just put in the key, turn it, give it a light kick all the way through, and it's on. No need for all this crap, just give it a good kick, if it doesn't start, pull the choke.
dont push more on kickstarter after this littel jump (svup) on kickstarter .. find tdc and push the kickstarter gives this littel jump ,, up and full kick down .

My process was always to just hammer on the kickstarter until it starts 😂. This is probably better for the mechanism.
ha ha same I used always wonder what the decompression lever was even used for

XR is the best 💪
Been having a tough time getting my ‘01 XR400 started. I’m gonna try this process tonight when I get home.

Carb-
160 main

How’d this process work for you?
Cool ..what elevation are you riding? I'm in socal desert riding ..occasionally head up to kern river area .
Do they idle that fast? mine is idling slower, but tends to shut off when i hit the gas from zero to watata😂
I like it idled up a little higher.
Do every thing but use a quarter throttle with no choke fires first kick
What specific headlight do you have?
It’s just a cheap Amazon flush mount LED, plugged into factory lighting cables, mounted to factory housing.
Can ya share link ? ..really wanna upgrade my light ..its plug and play ? .no extra parts because it's LED?
@@jplaysbay2929did you ever find out if it worked?
