yup you need to adjust the the stator plate anticlockwise to just past the middle of the available adjustments.... undo the 2 bolts on the plate and you'll see what I mean, I've found just a little more anticlockwise from the middle works well for me and no kickback but your's could be different so experiment,
you also need to kick he bike properly, get it to the compression, then carefully kick it to JUST past the compression, then start the bike from there
