I've never understood that! You ever tried to pull start a 660 Grizzly?
I've done it!! AND  while I was on the way to get a cortisone shot for
my shoulder, I  wondered why Honda was the only manufacturer to 
use a kick start as a back up!!

I believe only the old 300s (and ATCs) had kickstart only no electric or nothing just kick. thats why them things are so reliable, nothing on the things to realy break. kick start, foot shift, IIRC full time 4x4 everything. Was the ultimate KISS atv. 

my 450 has pull start back up and it pulls easy, there should be an internal/automatic compression release on your 660

yea i pull started mine the day i bought it and then after liek 5 months of riding i tried again and when i pulled it seemed like my arm and shoulder got shredded off my torso, u gotta pull on it slowly until it gets just right then its relatively easy to pull start,,,but it still always seems like when i first go to pull it it must be on the compression stroke or something cuz u cant pull it for crap

And it doesn't hurt to seal the PoPo's pull starts either, just a little bead around the factory seal with grease or silicon.
