Been having to push to start the dirt bike today kick to start lever is moving as well with the shaft but it only gets resistance with about 30% left, push to start fine every time so I know it's not anything with the engine any suggestions? Baja 125DR ( no hate plz )
Kick starter super sloppy
- Thread starter ThirdEyePharoah
- Start date
You're going to have to pull the cover to see what's broken in there.
Could be a few different things.

Ah crap. Ima newbie so that looks intimidating lol
But I'll let you know[emoji106]
Any way to remove this clutch cable without having to disassemble it from the handlebars as well? I've tried to use some needle nose pliers but there's no slack to budge it at all, pics included.
Dan's the man!!!
To bad you were not in on the mms photo this morning. I bet James is still licking the cover off his phone.

Well I opened her up a bit I think it's a bearing but I'm not sure.
oh yeah its worked fine for the first two weeks, then it slowly but surely got harder and took 15 plus kicks to get something out of it, still push to starts like a champ. But it still randomly will go on first kick or second out of nowhere at times.
Looks out of center on the shaft. Need to get a blow up of the diagram and get a good look at the mechanism.
Damn, that really sucks.
The kick start mechanism is inside the cases!!!
You'll have to pull the motor and split the cases. I would look up on youtube someone splitting the cases on this particular bike first.
And the bearing is totally gone, as described by the shaft sitting on the aluminum case. Notice the black sludge at the bottom of the case indicating something died and was chewed up. (Ex: ball bearings)
