Kick start spring...

[JimmyJ]

Does the kick start spring have to be wound up before u put it in proper holes... my spring fell out and seems like its not winding enough for starting sumtimes. i kick it to start it and 2/6 times it will just slam to the peg with nothing no compression and other has awsome compression. just wondering if that has to do with me having to kick it fast to get goin. because i have awsome compression.

there's a tiny little odd shaped clip on the kick start assembly that pushes the gear out to turn the engine over. (i forgot to put mine back in so i just fiddle with the kicker till it catches) but if i had to say i'd say thats the problem

Thanks king i have found on the manual where the spring ends go and that is my problem because when i did the clutch it fell out and i kinda just slapped it in there and kicked til it caught but i have found the right way of doing it so im soo glad i have found my problem of starting the bike yaaaaayyyyy just sumthing stupid like always lol
