Ok so I'm looking at an 83 with a 8,000 miles and I the bike supposedly has a bad starter. The owner was $600 for the bike. Should I be able to kickstart the bike with a bad starter. I've also been looking searching the internet an found that the starter is not usually the problem. I think there's some spring or something behind the clutch basket. I guess my 3 questions that I have are: 1. Should I be able to kick start with a bad starter? 2. Can someone shed a little light on the alternate starter probelem? and 3. Should I pass on this bike?
