yz / it 465 kickstarter
« on: June 15, 2010, 10:14:40 am »
has anyone replaced the kickstart return spring only to find that the gear hardly messhes when you try to kick it? I have to give it a sharp fast prod to get the kickstarter gear to mesh. The work shop manual says if the spring is too stiff or too weak it wont mesh properly. I bought an original from yamaha Morrooka and put that in, and now its doing this? any tips or things i might have done wrong

not too sure about he 465 Tony but the smaller bikes have a washer on the shaft internally.
just wondering if its been fitted in the correct order?
worth a shot.
