January 15, 201412 yr Hello. Iv recently just bought a 2010 evo. I was just stripping it down to give everything a quick once over and notice a screw that is under the exhaust near the kickstart. The screw was undone slightly so I thought I better do it up but this stops the kickstart from returning to its up right position. The kickstart will only return to the upright position if I undo it about half a turn. Can someone tell me what is stopping me from doing it up tight. Or maybe a way to set it up. Cheers Darren
January 16, 201412 yr There's nothing there to affect the return of the kick start, it's internal Can you post a pic or two?
January 17, 201412 yr Author There is mate. I will try and take a picture if I can. It looks like a smaller oil filler cap!!!!
January 18, 201412 yr Sounds more like it was removed and put back in. Probably need to pull off the primary case and reset the kick start shaft

January 18, 201412 yr Author Cheers mate I will have a look. Here is a picture for you people that don't what I mean. It's the one under the exhaust.
January 20, 201412 yr It`s the stop for the kick start shaft, gave you the diagram. It is supposed to be tight. Once removed it releases the spring tension usually or shaft is displaced. Been that way since the first Beta`s. It`s obvious if you ever completely stripped a motor. Edited January 20, 201412 yr by lineaway
