When I kickstart my blaster the lever goes down then up but does not return flat to the engine. Is there a spring or something in the lever itself?
 
you have to flip it back against the engine manually, just how it is on blasters
 
It doesnt stay against it though. It used to but now it just swings back out when I ride

The detent and spring are worn. They have rebuild kits for some. I don't know if yamaha still sells them. Check at dealer or online

I looked it up they only showed the whole kicker. Guess find a good used one. Or live with it

I used to sale some kicker springs and balls, but haven't in a while
I took the spring and ball to my local dealer and they dug thru a box and matched them up, I think it ended up being some Suzuki street bike that matched and I bought them 10 at a time, but bought out their supplier, and stopped searching for them.
I heard a banshee rebuild kit will work ? you'll only use the spring and ball ...............
