XS 500 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
