swampy88 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I have a 1973 Yamaha 360 enduro (rt3). Every so often, when I start the bike, it runs backwards! I mean reverse, it will actually move backwards. Am I going crazy here? Anyone have any thoughts on my problem and how to correct it? thanx for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted July 30, 2010 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2010 Could be too advanced ignition Could be to timid a kick to start or both these conditions By the way, 2 strokes will generally run backwards if you bump started them backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little dave Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 its happend to me on rare occasions. NOTHING makes you look dumber than being in a carpark and kicking the bike over, revving it up, and shooting backwards about 5 feet when you let out the clutch. the "im gonna sh*t my pants" look on my face was obscured by the tint in my shield, so i just looked like a doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
