[monkey_wrench]

What does it mean when your kickstart is stiff and doesn't want to go down easily?

it's commonly called an erection. it will go down on it's own.
Dont play with it, you'll go blind.

to all above.... hahahahah


but anyways.. monkey wrench...not much of a description so dont expect too much of an answer.

bit more details about the problem and what sort of engine you have...

and lol do you seriously think low compression will make the kick starter stiff... be the other way round dont ya think...

stiff kick starter could be from cracked cases or smashed kick gears or if its a crank mounted clutch engine then maybe over adjusted clutch

i guess thats what happens when ya just browse instead of properly reading...

oh well sht happens..

but either way compression or no compression, it shouldnt make it stiffer than it usually is..

^^^ why else do you think i put so much bling on my bikes?

with that sort of compression you need to start the bike properly or it can kick back and break things
these vids should give you an idea:
YouTube - How to start a pit bike properly. Top Dead Center.
YouTube - Lifan 140 sound test

sounds like it might be stuck in gear also or something to do with the clutch
