I bought this bike when it first came out for my wife. This Bike is awsome. The jetting is messed up but once you get thet right it is very easy to start, it is hard to start until you get the jetting right. Also ours you start like a 2 stroke, A little throttle when you kick it, I have heard a few others say that is the way they start theirs also. I can lean over and start it with my hand. I have done that a few times with my wife sitting on the bike. It is heavier than an 85 but most people dont really notice the weight until they wreck and have to pick it up. it is very light feeling while riding. With spot on jetting and a little different gearing on the sprockets this bike resist stalling pretty well. They also make flywheel weights that would help if you have a problem with that. We are going to buy a rekluse auto clutch as soon as my broken collar bone heals and I can get back to my second job. By the way I broke my collar bone jumping a 35ft step up on the 150. I am 6ft 195# and it has plenty of motor to get me around just not enough suspension (came up about a foot short with my rear tire)for my size, so it will rip with a rider that is the right size for it.
