@@mikekristin7201 very true, I typically do a lot of research before starting a job but something is alway different and have some new problem to solve.

[@jasonmatthews7098]

in your video, did you re-install the spring? When the cover is off, you rotate the kick by hand, and you bottom out at about 9.. but when the cover is on you can kick all the way through My bike is the same -- when I rotate the kick by hand (cover off, or on) I get to about 9 oclock as well... but have not gotten the bike off my table to be able to try and kick it by foot...

[@mgdrud4605]

Great video. here because I tried to "test" the installation of the shaft before the case cover went on... Big Ooops.

[@gnarcycle]

NOOOO

[@mgdrud4605]

Yeah. Luckily the case side seems to be able to hold most of the force. Going to buy a tig welder or break down and buy a bare case (current one was just rebuilt so im really trying to avoid pulling it apart)

[@MBdad264]

thank god for your video! having the same issue!

[@cabottwain9831]

I have a question: I was in a lil fork bending accident nothing too crazy now my kick starter moves the bike even with the clutch fully engaged any advice. Or tips before I dive in. Just replaced my tubes and I'm ready to go just dont wanna have my kick starter not disengaging or some catastrophe

[@gnarcycle]

umm your clutch adjust is on the left side sprocket cover. you could try adjusting from there. you could of also caused damaged to the clutch case in the accident. and always kick start the bike in neutral. I thought from factory the bike had to be in neutral to use the kick starter. I could be wrong.

[@EuanRyan]

@1:22 - I can testify to that.... 1 engine totally wrecked.

[@brandonarambula7514]

Not bad bro.you still riding

[@gnarcycle]

Thanks!I was last summer I had a vfr750 r36 but have sold it and sold the xs400. Bought a house last year so bikes have taken a back seat for a bit!
