Hi guys, please excuse my motorcycle ignorance, I am a bicycle guy. Anyways, my bike was leaking on my 2002 rev 3 and I tracked it down to the bolt above my Kickstarter. I unthreaded it to clean it out and now it will not thread all the way in. The unthreaded bottom portion of the bolt seems to be blocked by the Kickstarter rod. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks

You can download the Evo 2 stroke shop manual. The kickstart mechanism is nearly identical to the Rev 3.   Good luck.

Its some time since I had a Rev 3 apart and have never been into this part of an Evo but I guess the end of this screw fits into a slot in the kickstart mechanism. You might be able to get it back in by moving the kickstart a little but it is probable you will have to take the case off and remove the return spring before you can get it to line up.

Thanks guys. I had to reset the kickstart mechanism.
