Hi guys,

My mates 2005 txt pro has a lot of slack in the kick start. Still has lots of compression, but not till halfway down the kick. I've got the new Bart gear and idle gear, also a new kick stop (metal one).

However I can't seem to find the Jim Snell videos anymore.

Does anyone have a copy/link. I just want to watch it for peace of mind when doing the job.

Too bad those are not online anymore because Jim swapped brands.

 

Put bike on its side.!!!

 

Remove the kickstarter (if this goes off difficult, you can undo the bold a few threads and use the kickstarter as a lever)

Remove the bolds of the cover, leave the waterpump on the cover, and dont touch the waterpump or rotate the crank.

(bolds go: longest 2 one underneath in the waterpump, the other one above the kickstarter. Second longest go in the waterpump on top. Thirds longest go in the middle on top and underneath. The shortest go left.)

YOu can use the clutch to get the cover off.

Mind the clutch bearing and cap, I always get a wire and wire the cover to a fork legg or so that its not in the way.

Mind he washer on the kickstart gear.

Remove the clutch with the alen bold.

Remove the clip of the idler gear.

Use the kickstart to turn the kickstarter axle abit and pull it out.

Remove and reassamble the half gear. Make sure of the timing!!!

I think the stop can only be inserted if the halfs are split.

Reinsert the kickstart axle, end of the spring in the correct hole, turn the whole assembly one turn to set it under pressure, and put it in correctly.

Assemble idle gear (should be with 2 washers (one on top one underneath) and a clip)

Make sure the kickstarter ''hook'' is pointing towards the top (it must fall in the cover)

Dont forget the washer on the kickstart axle.

Mount the clutch and reassemble the cover, make sure the cap and bearring are correctly on the clutch slave ''hat. Bold everything down and put the kickstarter back on.

 

 

While your busy check the clutch for correct fingerhight and stackhight. Also clean the spring of the clutch, as dirt will grow there.
