However, when I had a Honda cub/underbone, the starter died after about two years and I kicked started it ever since. The nice thing about a motorcycle is that you can kick start it while sitting on the bike...very easy and convenient..., which you can't do on a scooter.
Heres how it's done, step by step:
- While your right foot are at the passenger footrest, put your left foot on the centerstand and press it down so you can ceep the balance on the scoot only by the centerstand.
- Stand up onto the centerstand and jump a little on it, while you pull the handlebars forcefully.
- Look dumb, as you fail to get the scooter onto center stand for 3-8 times.
- You are now on centerstand and have not yet left the bike.
- Sit down onto the passenger seat.
- Kickstart.
- Feel badass for not having to leave your seat.
