If it’s not kicking back, I don’t see how ignition timing can make the engine harder to turn over.

Six years ago you where six years younger GB!
I do find that since the SA had a rebore with new pistons (flat tops, same as the ones that came out) and new rings there is noticeably more compression than before
Its much easier kicking a bike over if the kickstarter is set a bit lower, say about 10 o,clock. Saves the knee joint strain too.
