  • Help: Question about the Bullet Kick!

    We all know that if you don't set the decompressor properly then the bullet gives a nasty rebound.
    I have heard anecdotal stories that this rebound has given multiple fractures to the rider.
    Is it true, is the rebound on the old bullets(or new) so powerful. I never had the guts to try it, always checked the compressor before starting. I have never owned a bullet but have always had friend leave me their bullets on vacation as I was the strongest guy they knew.
    I had friends Hero Honda SS that would give a nasty rebound but the hardest that it has given me was a stinging sensation that lasted for a few hours on my calves.
    Friend who owned bullets have never faced a nasty rebound but they have been told (by people who never owned bullets in their lives or even rode one) these horror stories of the Kick rebound.
    So please clear this out for me once and for all, since there are so many bullet owners here i think your views would be enough for me to comfortable tell someone to SOD off the next time they try to tell me a horror story of the bullet kicker rebound.
    Thanks

      it hits back terribly hard. but i have never seen any broken bones from it.
      max damage happens when your handle is aligned with your leg/knee. the rebound action pushes your leg back pretty hard and if unlucky/careless, you would find your leg smashing the handlebar...
      based on my experience on 94'-95' bullet.
      BIKER ...the thrill and sense of self-fulfilment is obtained from living a little dangerously!
