I've had my YBR 250 for about a year now. Have had a few Yamaha over the years. Including: 86' SRX 600 (a donkey when it comes to kick-starting, but a really fun bike to ride), 82' XS 400 (old reliable....rode it for 10 years....5 days a week...rain or shine...not a single hiccup) 

 hello and welcome! I can't imagine kick starting a 600.
