How to properly time and wind your kickstart on assembly!

Do you have a lazy kick start lever? Was it worked on recently? Did you know there is a procedure to “time” the pieces of the kicker mechanism? Watch this video for close up “how to” time, wind the spring and install most any kickstarter the right way.

Thank you so much for making this video.
Im grafting a '72 twinstar kick shaft into a '86 rebel motor (for a '94 nighthawk frame. Gotta love the universalism of Honda) and never considered checking for the gear to spin freely.
Turns out the O-ring I had on there wasn't allowing the gear to retract completely!
But it was checked now, before being put on the bike.
Simple enough fix now, but would've been a huge pain later on if I hadn't seen this video.

Been looking for this bit of info all day

[Justin-mlqc]

Wish I would've watched this before I completely re-assembled this damn bike.. thank u

[thefourwheelerdoctor]

Really good tip, Just have to look the videos a couple of times to get the specifics about the assembly. Thanks.

The part that has the notch on it what is the name for that? I have a 1984 Honda 200x that I have to kick a million times for it to start and my buddy told me that the “dog” needs to be replace. However the only dog I can find for sale is a hound. Can you help me?

I have a trx 250, I ordered a used kick start cause mine is mostly ratchet affect..but when it miss fires when it does kick in some thing inside the engine sounds as if being slung threw the engine and hits hard on inner left crank case like a rod has already broke it fires up it's smooth no knocking valves tick some..but not on the bottom end whats coming out of it...I was figuring it be the piston arm hitting what is it

I have not yet found any answers on a1984 Honda trx 250 four trax replacing kick starter

[kenlow]

Excellent instructor and full theory put into practice top gun

[keirengardner]

Can someone please explain to me the notch on the back I don’t understand how this work so for the mechanism to work does the clutch basket have to be on??

[travismaniagigglebush]

Very very good this is one of the best ...I cant handle half the guys talking to much ....this fella just simply explains it I'd dang near say he's southern 😉

[Mr.EeToMyself]

Great video. Im having problems with the kicker freezing up. And I hope to identify the issue. Any tips would be appreciated... but I don't think my gear is spinning freely. Anyway. Thanks for the help. Mj

This is useful. I have a 1983 yamaha RS 125 DX.
The kick start turns the engine over but won't return. I'm thinking the cogs and shaft are not correctly aligned.

Hey I'm working on a project and I want to convert a 110cc lifan semi automatic with electric start to a kick start is that possible if so could you guys make a video on that appropriate the time you guys take to share your experience and knowledge

[pj]

what would cause the kick drive gear and washer to seize onto the kick start shaft?

was riding along and it all locked up on me, push down on the kick starter it will turn over, however on the return stroke it would turn the motor back.. stripped it to find a seized kick drive gear on the kick starter shaft.
what has caused this to happen? just did an oil change with correct trans oil to the correct level too.

now the shaft, gear and washer are junk.
I made a track fix by removing the kick start assembly, and only reinstalling the shaft with the seized gear and washers, carried on riding for a bit of fun..

Had a kick starter gear engage on rough landings and sounded like a bearing being spun by an air compressor.. thought i had a total bottom end rebuild coming up

[nathanshaw]

I’m rebuilding a Cr 80, I done all the exact same steps as you guys have done, and although my spring looks okay, as soon as I wind it round into its slot, the spring is trying to pull itself out of place (the hook won’t stay in the hole) and off the end of the mechanism, and also pulling the shaft out of its place.. any ideas as it’s driving me nuts.

[starcastleLomitas]

Hi Shane, I have a '85 ATC 200x how much of the engine do I need to dissemble to get to the kick starter shaft?

[ronnieleemcdaniel]

Mine is slipping, and has bad ratchet gear affect when I kick start it....what all I need to fix it

[greaselover]

Like u say if it doesnt spin freely it rattles is that whats happening to my bike?ill go threw gears and something will rattle as i give it more gas. But it has plenty of power and shifts smoothly

[dominictower]

can someone help, i just replaced the clutch on my 2002 cr80 and my kick start gear came out. i lined up the dimples but it still wont work.
