My 88/91 KX250 project

<< < (3/9) > >>

Caddy 16v:
So, I had it all ready to go today for the first start up, wasn't fully assembled but enough to let it run and as I tried to start it my freaking kickstarter slips the whole time, sometimes it would engage a little bit, but it was no where enough to get the bike started :-( so now its all in pieces again and I'm trying to figure out what the problem with that ratchet is. How annoying, could have just been the cold weather but I never had problems like that with other bikes in winter... and what a waste of oil and coolant, I'll just get some ATF type F tomorrow... just had to vent a little bit :evil:

1989kawasaki:
change the ratchet spring

Caddy 16v:
is the ratchet spring the big one at the end, or? I still have two others laying around so hope that will work.

1989kawasaki:
the big spring is the return spring. pull out the kick shaft and at the back of it there is a circlip and a small spring  in there. go look then tell me if you found it.

Caddy 16v:
Ok I found it on the parts diagramm, so can I just pull out the kick shaft or what? there is nothing holding it in place?
