I’ve kick started Harleys for 50 years now. Sportsters, panheads, shovelheads. If you have to kick this much, your bike is not tuned correctly. Jet carb correctly, keep in tune, learn your bike. It will start within 2 or 3 kicks guaranteed.

Imagine trying to hurry up and get away from the cops 😂

Some say he is still kickstarting it

Sorry i was late for work. Took me about 5 hours to start my bike this morning...

The thumbnail made me think that he was literally gonna kick the bike to.start it

this is why we are fat now... we need to bring kick starting back...

I’d pay money to watch this dude try to start this bike every morning 😂😂😂

God bless the dude that came up with electric starters.

I was broken my right hip bone in a car accident before, that's why i can't use my right leg......

I still think kicking a bike is the coolest shit.. Nice bike man..

I'm not sure what's going on there. It only takes me about 2 to 3 kicks to get my dad's 51 pan head primed and 1 kick with the ignition on to start it. Which also requires turning the left grip to retard the spark. Because if you don't, the bike can kick you back. Breaking your leg and throwing you over the handle bars. Cool fact, my dad bought his 1951 74 FL Pan Head Hydra Glide in 1951 when he was 17. He's 86 now, and still has it.

This is a beautiful bike. Loads of personality. I was going to go for a ride, but I'm exhausted. I take mine with electric start. Love the Shovelheads.

to all you kickers after 26 years of kicking on a 76 electraglide without the electra that magic button is sweet.

Worth the wait...

Kick start, the ultimate anti theft device. Beautiful bike man! 👍

Awesome. I love the flying right leg. Makes me appreciate the simpler things in life. Like a push button start.

ahh 80 cubes music to my ears. brings back memories of my old lowrider. i ran a 45mm weber and 2 into 1 exhaust with some head work and some tuning. thanks for showing your sweet shovel man.

Glad to know you enjoy! My Father love to custom my Harleys with me before…… I have a 79 FXEF 10 years ago, and both my shovel are having electric starter. You might own a custom Harley with kick only! Last week I had fixed the kick timing and could be start in 3 kick now. What a Kool machine !

Nice ride. Dig the kickstart. Most people today need instant gratification. Quick start. Starting a bike like this and riding it is a whole different level very cool.

It’s good to have a kick start !!!!especially if your battery goes dead !!!!

Ladies and gentlemen this is in fact why we now have electric starters.

Damn...thats painful to watch. I still got an '81 Harley Lowrider i bought wrecked in 1985. Fixed it ,put an S&S carb on it and solid lifters. Electric starter went out within six months, and i have kicked it ever since. just never fixed the starter....Left knee on the seat, kick with right leg.....starts first kick ever time.

Worth it, i love kickstarters

I've watched this like 100 times it's just so satisfying

beautiful bike!! love those pipes they sound great

Maybe if he would kick with the correct foot the damn thing would fire

I had an ‘84 shovel low-rider, drag pipes, always start 2-3rd kick, loved that bike. Newer Harley’s not so much, too refined, dealers are asshats, the golden days of HD are long gone.

Tricycle drivers in my country are masters of kickstarting bikes at stop lights lol

HE HAD THE POWER OFF FOR SOME TIME,NEVER PRIMED THE CARB ,PROBABLY SHIT PLUGS AND OR BAD GAS.

Here we have a beautiful motorcycle. Starts 20th time, everytime

My dad's 81 shovelhead usually starts first kick if not the second for sure. Been parked a couple yearn now for bad head gaskets, ready to get the old girl out and let her sing.

I had an 81 Sturgis. What a great bike! B grind cam, slash pipes

Imagine a 16 year old who doesnt want to ride his bicycle anymore so he gets this and he now has to do more sports than before

Trying to Get Away from a shooting **kick Starts 16 times** "Okay lets go"

Thats some really good morning exercise.

Nice Bike and a Thumbs Up Liked for you.

This video should be titled hiw not to kickstart a bike

I've had a few kickers...I always try to park at the top of a down sloping drive so I can pop start.

Beautiful ride 👏

🤘🏻 Amazing sound!

My shovel was pretty persnickety. It took about five or six kicks with the switch off and then a couple with the choke full on, one or two without and then she would fire every time. Change the procedure or not show the proper respect and you might as well go back in the house and have a cup of coffee. Give the dude some slack, he knows his bike better than the peanut gallery watching.

Back in the day this was common when carbs were rejeted and running way too rich. A properly tuned bike can fire on the first kick.

Worth to wait

I was an owner of an 1974 AMF Harley Davidson Sportster iron head. And usually if you didn't start it up within 3-5 kicks forget it. I only kept this model for 4 1/2 yrs and sold it too much maintenance and hurting my right leg.

For everyone's info, that bike has a magic button which that dude should definitely use lol.

Omg that sound. Saludo desde argentina

Sounds insane 🤘❤

I’ve always loved the look of a kick start. And Damn is that a beautiful bike. But what a pain in the ass. It would be worth it though. Part of the experience of riding a 40 year old Harley.

Please check out my new vedio on kicking with SU carb installed !!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/acWYrdhymLvPXXU.html

Imagine this bike shutting down right in the middle of Times square

What a Sound, great

i know you don't wanna see a guy jumping so just play it from 1:16

I would not DREAM of using a bike that was that hard to fire up!! There has got to be something wrong with the settings??

mostly i kicked 2 primes off and started 1 to 3 kick on igntion. Point ignition? or E ignition?

Man that's one hell of a cold start.

My dad was a Harley mechanic for over 40 years. Had both knee's replaced

Seems like it took too many tries but either way, gorgeous bike

Nice video!

Very beautiful!

Okay.. take a rest and continue on next day

the thumbnal its look like the dude is going to give the most aggressive penalty kick ever

BEAUTIFUL BIKE. Would love to own one 1 day. Right now I ride a little 700cc "streetbike". But that would be a great weekend cruiser

Wow it's so cool to look at, it must be easy to drive

Doesn't start up until 1:15 YOU'RE WELCOME.

Imagine his face after it starts and shuts off again immediately

Nice bike, nice paint, nice style!

the tune is everything,if its cold,dead cold,it needs a rich mixture to start,if its hot,shut gas off,kick it thru,half throttle it'll light,if not,tune the bitch,one backfire you're over the rainbow,i own three of these and they all are in tune, gotta be that way

nice bike there! i am from Hong Kong and riding a Sportster in Singapore.

I've only ever kicked over a dirt bike. I would love to kick over an old harley one day.

Imagine running from the cops and you're like " STOP! Let me start my bike " :D

Man, you made that look hard. I had a 81 FLH full dress that would start with 2 or 3 primes=ignition off & 1 or 2 kicks, ignition on.

i always love whitewalls and fish tail pipes

You haven't lived until you owned a kick start bike

Legend has it ges still kickin to this very day

Fired right up!

A little hard to start... Surely not suitable for short tempered.

Look so wrong kicking it with your left leg,just swinging at it...

Wow 💪

You got that right,I have an 82 rigid,wide glide shovel.2 kicks when cold,1st choked ignition off,2nd,ignition on,almost always fired on 2nd kick after 2 shots of throttle.Rode that bike for 12 years.96" stroker,rigid frame.Was alway"s asked how can your back take it?Ya gotta know how to relax your body,the 1st week after I built it was hard,after that,no problem and I rode far more than most.The other thing that gets me is how hard they make it look to kick start a Harley,I never had to stand off to the side and come down on it with everything I had!(That"s all drama).I'm not a big guy.

Girl: Help help help zombies everywhere!! Guy with bike: we can get out of here with my bike! Hold on...hmmmp....hmmmp....hmmmp...hmmmp....hmmmp Girl: Aaaaaaaah!!! Zombie: chomp chomp chomp Guy: my bike started lets.....oh uh...sorry...bye!

Shouldn't have taken that many. 2 priming kicks is all it should take

this beast needs fine tuning ASAP

Probably still has the stock electronic ignition in it. I know because my 81 was a bear to Kickstart until I put in the dyna s ignition.

Der arme Ständer.

beautiful bike but all that kicking by the time u started that shit i had already ridden a mile

this dude never skips leg day

Looks like a blast.

何で左足で蹴るん？カッコわるいやん。 蹴る時、泳げたいやき君みたいになっとるやん。

A Pack of Wild Dogs nearby triggered by the Multiple Sound of The Kickstart & The Sound ..Just say Hello to Them...

This is the kinda guy we wait for before starting our bikes..

This is the best looking bike you got to admit it

I’m glad I’m not the only one that has trouble.

Perfect for bank heist and getaway 👌

The anxiety i always get from thinkin the will tip over is unmatched

Man, you made that look hard!

Love the kick start but holy hell that takes forever.

Beautiful bike

sounds 👌

OMMFER That sounds so good
