G2 Kickstart problem

Post by Rees »

Hi, anyone have any ideas what has gone wrong with my g2 kickstart. It has stopped turning over the engine, it still goes down and returns but is very stiff and does not seem to be engaging the piston. Any ideas welcomed - cheers.

Do you have a clutch problem?
Chemists do it with test tubes

The clutch seems to be working ok, and no problem getting in and out of gear. It was working fine till yesterday.

hi,
does the engine turn over if you put the bike in gear and push it?
if not has your primary chain come off and jammed?
i guess the engine has not seized has it?

The engine will not turn in gear and pushed, I will take a look at the primary chain as I dont think it is seized. Thanks Alan.
