Where is the kick starter on a Suzuki Titan?
Some bikes like, Bultaco, have the Kick Starter on the left side. You start it with your left foot. The old Husqvarna dirt bikes did too. Even the Japanese did it. Remember the Suzuki Titan? A 500cc, two stroke twin. I don’t particularly like Kick Starting with my left leg. You would think you would get used to it but I never could.
Where does the power from a kick starter go?
Because of this Low Pinion gear (#3) on the Clutch Basket, the power from the Kick Starter goes straight to the Crankshaft and NOT through any of the transmission shafts. That enables the engine to be started even with the clutch disengaged. Starting while the engine is in gear is possible.

How to kick start a Suzuki DR350 4 stroke?
The 4-stroke engine on the DR is a “cold-blooded’ motor requiring time to warm up before it will run at its best. It is important to bring the engine oil up to temperature before hard riding.

The mainshaft is connected to the clutch and the clutch is connected to the engine crankshaft. When the engine starts and you release the pressure on the Kick Starter, the kick start gear is thrown out of mesh with the idler gear.
