Nothing raises the ire faster of a rider than a dirt bike that refuses to start after a mid-moto crash or stall. The hot start function is similar to a choke for a cold start. Whereas the choke allows more fuel than air (oxygen), the hot start allows more air than fuel.
What does the hot start lever do?

Should you workout the day before a triathlon?
A successful strategy is to take off two days before the race to rest. Complete your final workout the day before the race. In that workout, if it is possible to swim on the race course, try to get into the water at the same time your swim wave will go off on race day. Use this object to sight on during the race.
How should you warm up before cycling?
Include a few minutes of race-pace riding, a few minutes at threshold, and a few 8-second spin-ups. To do a spin-up, choose a gear, then wind up your cadence until you’re pedaling as fast as you can without bouncing in the saddle. No matter what, make sure your warmup is done between 5 and 15 minutes before your race.
