my kick start is not springing back up. i had the problem before and the spring just came out of the one hole. should i fix it right away or will i be okay riding for half a day? and then fixing it. hope this isnt stupid question im just to lazy to fix it right away.
 
The kicker starter set up can be tricky for the beginners. I always suggest buying a service book and reading it. There are many great tips that can help members out.. The kick starter gear can be rotated causing issues during the reassemble or correct alignment
 
I used a pair of hemostats to hold it in place and help line it up when I was putting the case back on.
 
Is this a fairly simple fix or will a bunch of crap come flying out when I pull that cover off? I have the same problem and suspected a broken spring under the cover.
 
I'm having the same problem but the spring isn't coming off i believe it's the retainer clip any ideas on why it woulda bent?
