kick starter problems

[cozza95]

hey guys i just went outside to go and start my motorbike and the kicker wont go down unless i hold the clutch in and that wont start the bike so what has to be done so i can start the bike???

 

[grnman]

clutch adjustment. or just bump start it down a hill in 2nd gear to free up the clutch plates as sometimes they bind together.

dont think the clutch is the issue.. to me sounds like somethings locking up somewhere.

yeah wont be a clutch issue, more like a gear sticking or something weird like that..

see if you can click thru the gears while rolling the bike back and forward. then select neutral again and see how the kicker is..

if all else fails, the fire bans have been lifted so just drop a match on the tank
