August 11, 20251 yr Hi again.. I've not started the bike for a couple of days and now the kickstart is not moving.. I can literally stand on it And no movement..if I pull the clutch it goes full stroke.. also if I remove the plug so no compression And put it in second I can crank the bike forward on the kickstart.. any ideas please on what is going on? Stuck or damaged gearing
August 11, 20251 yr Not specific to ossa, but the kickstart gears can get out of alignment. Sometimes just putting it in gear and rocking it back of forward is sufficient let them mesh.

Have tried the obvious (rocking etc) but thanks Will try a tow start later and see if it re syncs with the engine running.. if not it's off with the clutch case I guess 🤦♂️

August 11, 20251 yr Author Hi Alan I've only had the bike a few days so haven't actually done anything to it, when I collected it it kicked over fine.. IN neutral it's solid and no movement..with the clutch IN there is kickstart stroke but no engagement?
