First turn on key and gas then using the decompression lever and the kickstarter, push the piston slowly past TDC, let off the decompression lever, then give it a good kick. If everything is correct, it should start every time.....usually.....Dew.

I just posted some instructions for kick-starting a Royal Enfield in the Tech Tips section. I wrote them as part of a tech article several years ago and they still hold true now. You can link to them here:
