hello i bought this bike a while ago there are all of these options on the bottom tank like reserve off on fuel, and what im trying to say is how do you start this bike correctly sometimes it doesnt even start.
 
its hard, i am kinda new at this too. put both sides of the tank to PRE or or prime,. and wait 120 seconds. then put both sides to reserve (i allways rock reserve why not??) then have your choke open all the way. and give it a little throttle as you try to start your bike.. if it still wont start give it alot of throttle while turning the key/pressing the button, but while your doing this back down to barely pulling on the throttle.. cuss it wont start till you back it back down on the throttle, but you want to get the gas going at teh same time. if all else fails, put it in second, and push it it as fast as you can, jump on and drop the clutch... then drive it awhile on too charge the battery,.
