    1982 suzuki GS650GZ

    Does this motorcycle come with kick start?

    I feel dumb asking it but it wasn't on the motorcycle or is there an old way of starting it?

    i remember my grandpa's yezdi would start with a gear lever turned back and used as kick start....

    No. I believe Suzuki stopped putting kick starts on GS models after the '79 model year.

      Turn key on, bike in neutral, push (or roll down hill), jump on, pull in clutch, put in gear and let out clutch. There is some debate over which gear to use, but any one should work.

        Lower gears will be way more apt to slide and scoot the rear wheel as it's trying to turn the eng. way faster. For me 3rd or above is way better.

            That will get it started, "IF" the bike is in running condition! You may get tired of pushing it back up the hill if it's not!

            When I die, just cremate me and put me in my GS tank. That way I can go through these carbs, one more time!

              It also helps if it's in good tune. And light! I rode my souped up CB350 for a full year with no kick or electric start. And I used to be able to push start my '68 Camaro in less than 20 feet on level ground. Solo. Sans friends.

              Those were the days! I crashed my 11EZ in the living room 2 weeks ago. And the engine wasn't even running.
