I always use the kick start from cold on the old bikes, a matter of habit I suppose.I think that I have a complete kick start for the 500/4 in my box of spares, I don't know whether the vital parts are the same as the 400?
I welded mine years ago, use it rarely, but it keeps up with demands Sorry for the dirt in the pic, bike is used almost daily and kept a bit greasy to prevent rust
