OK. The only one-lung bikes I'm familiar with didn't have
compression relief (except for some oversized 2-strokes,
which may not even be made anymore). And being tossed over
the bars on them *was* a hazard, even on the small ones
(even a 125 can give a healthy kick); one which was avoided
by never locking your knee while using the kickstarter.

Neat! Thanks for the info.

OK. The only one-lung bikes I'm familiar with didn't have
compression relief (except for some oversized 2-strokes,
which may not even be made anymore). And being tossed over
the bars on them *was* a hazard, even on the small ones
(even a 125 can give a healthy kick); one which was avoided
by never locking your knee while using the kickstarter.

Neat! Thanks for the info.
