Hi been to man 17, hipwell trial today, brill effort from all involved ! Weather bit damp, to say the least!!

After the 17 section, my fantic kicked back, knackered my dodgy ankle then kept slipping when I kicked it over. Had to leave it ticking over the rest of trial.

What's up? Idle gear ? Anything else, easy fix?

Anyone shed some light?

Regards,

Ian

I would guess it has knackered the teeth on the end of the kickstart shaft and/or the idler gear. Easy to check - take the clutch off and have a look. Idler gear easy to change, kickstart shaft means splitting the cases - not difficult but a bit more of a chore.

Thanks for reply, hope its idle gear, as time is an issue with anything else!! i'll try to have a look later...

Regards,

Ian

Thinking about it - it won't be the shaft because the teeth aren't on the shaft; they are on a pawl on the end of the shaft - you could do either without splitting the cases.
