Not unusual, more so if the bike is cold.

I have a rekluse on my yz450f w/ Timbersled ST and that's normal for me too. No big deal. It will start in gear every now and then but 10x easier in neutral. When it does start in gear and i forget, it's usually pretty comical!

with the BRC problems ive seen on cr500riders... I think they got a long way to go still. no way id be spending $10,000 on a motor that 75% of the people that bought it are absolutely hating right now.
cold off the truck you want to find neutral on my KTM 500 to us the button to start. Once my ride temp is up to 150 degrees, the rest of the day it starts easily by just pulling in the clutch and hitting the starter.

Just got it and riden it in the heavy melting snow. Husaberg rocks in low and mid-rage, what a sound with Acropovic muffler!
After lifting it after falls in deep snow on the hill - no, I do not want anything heavier. No sportbikes for sure
Thus, more beginner questions:
- the bike came with pretty high clearance and steep track forward angle. Pulls great, but very difficult to get on, and difficult to stop (and I got long legs
I have lowered the bike 3 inches down, by ajusting the angle of the track to bike frame. Very comfortable to sit now with both legs on the gound. But the track got very flat in the front section.
How does the track front approach angle affect performance on the snow? Shall it be steep or flat in the front section?

So changing your strut length is doing more than just changing approach angle and lowering the bike, you now have more fork rake and your tack isnt sitting flat it will be as* up and you probably wont like how it will trench. get your track sitting pretty flat and make small length adjustments to get the ski pressure how you like it. you can tweak fork height too. I would just get a low seat and send it. the lean back can work but its not preferable to go extreme with it.

Ski pressure was my biggest complaint on the 2 different snowbikes I rented (Camso and TS) so I went on a research mission to figure out if any kits addressed this and the answer is yes! CMX!

No, I did not notice any problem with increased rake, the bike is very controllable, and the ski planes well.
But the track... with flat approach angle it cannot plane uphill... digs a tunnel and stops. And the snowbike has no reverse

I am changing back to steep approach angle by adjusting arms inside the track. Seat will go higher s little, but I guess this is the price to pay...

Guys,
What is your clearance under the motor? Can you sit on the bike and walk your feet? Or just barely touch the ground?
