Kickstart on a ZXR 400, does it have one?
Don't laugh only had it a couple of weeks and I think someone turned my choke control off at work for a joke so I kept stalling all the way home and now the electronic ignition don't sound too happy now & I'll probably be buggered in the morning when it comes to starting it up.
Also if it ain't how can I bump start it?

Cheers

on mine, to bump it, you put it in first, hold the clutch in get the bike moving at about running speed. Then release the clutch and give it a bit of throttle when the engine starts.

As yours is more powerful, you might be better off doing that in 2nd instead, as otherwise u might surge forward when the power comes on.

I find the waddle maneuver worked quite well on my 400. Second gear, clutch in, waddle waddle waddle, drop clutch.
