Hey everyone,?

so ive had my 99 for almost 10 years, and while everything works great, the kickstart mechanism seems to be missing the return spring. by that, i dont mean the internal return spring, i mean, the return spring which would snap the kickstart arm back into position tucked in close to the engine. if i lean the bike over to the right, the kickstart arm just flops out into the kicking position, and it otherwise while riding just stays more or less where its supposed to be by the grace of god.?

its always been this way, and ive had oodles of other bikes with kickstarts which? return the kicker to its little snug place tucked in by the engine where its supposed to live. its not a huge problem, but i cant even seem to find in the spare parts catalogue the bit im looking for. also, theres no obvious place where such a return spring would be mounted, its possible something was sheared off or i dont know.

can someone post a real good close up of what i am talking about? i cant find any detailed pics online.

thanks in advance!?

Parts 290, 92081, 600 and possibly 9209 is what your kicker is missing.? It's a ball bearing that is held tight against the spindle the kicker rotates on.? When you turn the kicker into the bike the ball bearing gets pushed into a little hole and that holds the kicker in place.? The screw (290) probably came loose on yours so there is no pressure against the spindle.? Hope this is helpful to you.

Bill!?

thank you so much for clearing up that mystery for me.?

Makes complete sense, also why i couldnt find where the missing part(s) might go :)

screw and accompanying bits are indeed all missing.?

Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated,

kind regards,?
