Troubleshooting

Kick start lever feels loose after installation

Check that the Allen key bolt securing the kick start to the spline is fully tightened to the recommended torque specification. Ensure the spline on both the kick start and the engine shaft are clean and free of debris.

Difficulty engaging the kick start mechanism

Verify that the kick start is the correct model for your motorcycle. Inspect the internal kick start mechanism within the engine for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the kick start lever is correctly seated on the spline.

Kick start not returning to the 'up' position smoothly

Lubricate the pivot point of the kick start lever if applicable. Check for any binding caused by external debris or misaligned components. Ensure the return spring mechanism within the engine is functioning correctly.
