Kickstart
sweetpeauk:
I don't think is a clutch out job even,

Here's an update -
Having not used the bike for 6 months, I eventually plucked up courage to start the spanner work after I got stranded out on a run with a 'flat' battery. I took the clutch cover off and pulled the kick start shaft out expecting to find something wrong.
Nothing, the shaft, spring and other bits are all OK, so whether the spring had become unhooked I'm not sure. I was able to pull the spring straight off the shaft without first unhooking the tangs.
I'll finish the re-assembly today and report back.
Bryanj:
There should be some tension on the spring (from memory) so either something slipped or it wasn't correctly fitted before
meerkat:
I found the problem today in strong sunlight! The kick start shaft is badly worn on the splines as well as the kick start 'knuckle' joint. Looks like another bodge by the 'restorer'.
I'll bet he wore a blue and white striped apron just like our butcher, when was working on the bike. >:(
More of my pension and the children's inheritance going to DSS soon. :'(
