K5 Kickstarting issue
« on: March 21, 2009, 12:29:55 PM »
I just picked up a 95 KX500 for almost nothing. Going to make it my project bike. The first issue I need to address is that the kickstart is frozen. It will not move. The guy I got the bike from told me that the bike does this from time to time and its some sort of screw/pin that moves and causes this problem. He told me to try putting the bike in 1st and rocking it back and forth until it frees it self. So far no luck. An suggestions would be appreciated. I'm assuming the pin he refered to is the Kicker tab that is not set right. Does this sound right or am I on the verge of a bigger problem?

Congrats on the project bike. That is not a normal issue but should be easy to figure out and fix. Cam.
