Title: kickstart bottoms out after rebuild
Post by: jyeomans on May 01, 2012, 10:52:30 AM

Hi all,
I recently just finished a rebuild of my 2000 kx 250.
I filled the bike up with coolant and oil and went to give the bike a kick. I got 2 good kicks but on the third kick it felt like the kick starter bottomed out and wanted to kick back.
just trying to figure out why it would do this?

I am thinking this could possibly be timing related?
would a missing woodruff key cause this problem?
