just bolting the bike back up. I've just put the kick start mech back with the large spring placed on top.
Where does the edge of the spring need to be? it looks like it needs to be placed in a hole or something
in order for the spring to work and eneable it to wind and spring back but I Can't seem to see no obvious place for it.
I just looked at the back of the clutch basket also - since this sits on top and obscures it.

Cheers Nabz

When in doubt.. RTFM!

Dident think it would be in the workshop manual for some reason.

make sure the dots on the kickstart shaft and the gear linbe up before you fit it too! or your kickstart wont work once its back together

I noticed that in the manual and was looking for the dots for quite a while, but couldent see any. Maybe because I removed and installed the whole mech at once as appose to individual components? Or am I being blind again?


The gear selector mech was fun

I'm really looking forward to that when I put my engine back together

Not tested it fully yet either.. fingers crossed.

Springs are clearly not my strong point. I was looking at the clutch acutator arm spring, how the hell does that fit?
I can see no where for it to go. Also any idea where I can pick up a new spring for it? - it looks like this ones shagged..LT?

You mean the spring that sits in the case just above where the arm goes into the casing? LT is your best bet to get one quickly. I'm not sure how it fits as one engine didn't have a spring and the other was knackered.

Yeah thats the one.. Maybe I can get away with using one then? Ive not fit the push rod and clutch yet so can't tell
