Sure, I got nothin better to do! This is direct from the manual;

Starting Procedure:
1. Pull the choke lever up all the way to fully ON.
2.With the throttle slightly open, operate the kick starter. Kick from the top of the stroke to the bottom with a continuous, rapid motion.
3. Immedeatley after the engine starts, push the choke lever down to the detent position (middle notch).
4. About a quarter minute after the engine starts, push the choke lever down all the way to fully OFF.
5. If idiling is unstable, open throttle slightly.

That's all it takes! Also, make sure the kill switch is in the RUN position and the gas is on.

I warm up everything with a engine before i got out and ride (or drive) it.

If your bike is brand new and not broke in yet, it probably wont idle very good till it's warmed up. But in my case I bought mine used and it starts firt kick and idles perfectly. If your bike wont idle good after warming up, then you''l need to tinker with the carb.'s idle screw (I wouldn't touch the air/fuel screw if it runs good!).

That must be one of those blow dryers with the jet engines I've been hearing a lot about lately

just kick it then hit the revlimit for about 30 seconds. if it is not warm, repeat. smoke, loud motor noises and loss of power are comon with this technique.
