Nice levers, I really liked mine, but I only had the clutch side. Very easy to adjust with the big adjuster dial. If you watch closely in SX, you can sometimes see the pros adjusting that big dial while in the air over a big triple. Pretty amazing.

Hi Athan. If you stall the bike during a race, it usually results in a flooded condition if you had the throttle open and can be a difficult to restart.

The hot start lever opens a hot start valve which lets cooler, fresh air into the outlet side of the carb to help dissapate the excess fuel.

so the hot start lever is integrated with clutch lever.. and by doin so, we just have to pull the clutch lever if theres any restart difficulty related to flooded engine..

ahh i get it know, thx .... i see my klx has a cable in its clutch lever, so thats mean when i buy aftermarket lever, it must have hot start compability..




another knowledge about this thing... thx

No, there's a separate lever that mounts near the clutch lever. One lever does not pull both.

How does the hot start lever work for a 4 stroke dirtbike?


It works the opposite way the choke works. The choke richens the fuel/air mixture with more fuel.
Hot Start - An air enrichener to help lean out a rich mixture when the engine is hot. It's used for temperamental large bore singles.

+1 on that, and what Nobrakes said. The lever is separate, but kinda on the same perch in the case of the ASV and others that include the feature.

'Air enrichener' is an intersting way to say it, but it's spot-on. The important thing to remember is that any hot start valve bypasses the carburetor slide with frest air to lean out the fuel/air mixture (or 'enrichen' the air ).
