Posted October 3, 201113 yr Hi Having problems starting the bike. It was working fine till one day I tried starting it and the kick starter goes down really easy and not enough to make the bike turn over. Any ideas?

October 4, 201113 yr Author Hi croz " you say make it turn over, do you meen its not turning,? [ ie. siezed] or no compression [ ie. turns over too easily] ? It turns over too easily. I kick it to start it bit there feels like there is no compression. How could that happen from just sitting in the garage for a week?
