So I finally got around to replacing the pushrod seal and the pushrod with a 1 piece as well as the clutch advance assembly. Well, my kickstart is locked up. Cant get it to move, its acting as though the bike is in gear. so far this is what I have tried to troubleshoot
1. Put the old pushrod back in
2. manually turned the engine over to make sure the pistons still move
3. pull the right side cover to check the tang on the kickstarter.
- I went ahead and reinstalled the kick starter over the course of 2 and a half hours using the zip tie method.
No avail. Kick starter will not budge. I was really hoping that is was just the springs and kickstart mechanism, but it doesnt seem to be that simple. I'm worried that this is pointing towards the starter gear being seized up. Any thoughts?
