[QUOTE="2strokesteve89, post: 176364, member: 1670"] One other idea as far as the extra effort in kicking is if it has all new gaskets, does it have an actual gasket for the crank case halves? Or did they use gasket maker? I've seen using gasket maker instead of an actual paper gasket cause problems, if the crank bearing preload was designed to be set up with a gasket, removing it could cause the bearings to be to tight when case halves are bolted together.....in other words on some bikes, the thickness of the paper gasket is acting like a shim as well as sealing the engine....if you have the top end off for any reason you could put bike in neutral and spin the crank with the rod, it should not have any resistance and spin freely with no binding If not this is something I would consider as a cause.
