Posted October 25, 200717 yr Yesterday my kickstart worked just fine. Today you can not feel the gears engage. When you attempt to kick start it goes right to the floor with no resistance. I dont understand what this means. Anyone? Thanks.
October 25, 200717 yr Hi This means you're going to have to take the engine apart! Sounds like the kickstart drive gear - the one that engages with the engine has either broken or the mechanism that enable it to engage has broken, or disengaged. It's different on different bikes so I can't be more specific - maybe one of the other guys who knows your model will be able to help with more specifics. Good luck
October 25, 200717 yr Author After getting the bike to start (electric start) and driving it for a while. I shut the engine off and tried to kickstart it. Started right up like there was nothing wrong with it. So I dont know what happened. But I'm good to go. Thanks. Yesterday my kickstart worked just fine. Today you can not feel the gears engage.

Thanks. probably just a sticky return mech. for future reference you can access easily from the right side cover (after draining oil)
