I got my clutch and gear lever sorted out last night, but when I was going to kick it I ran into problems. First the kick doesnt want to spring back, so I have to lift it up with my foot. Then, when I kick, it sometimes springs back with a huge force and hits the engine with a loud noise. Something is clearly not as it should be. It was ok before I replaced the clutch, so what on earth has happened? And how to fix it... I want my old kick back :)

Sounds like one end of the kick spring has come off its retainer.....clutch cover off again :angry:

Blasted... all that oil and a new seal again...

Well thank god its not anything more serious :)

Get some old car tyres to stop the bike being damged, take the battery out and lay it on the opposite side, no need to drain the oil then B)
