when i go to start my 450 sometimes, when i kick it over it makes a clanking noise, it doesn't really sound too good either. it doesn't do it all the time, but it does it atleats 1/5 times i start it. it wont start when it makes this clanking noise either. any ideas on whats wrong with it or what i need to check? im getting valves adjusted here soon, so would i just need to tear it apart and look at everything? im not really too smart when it comes to motors but my dad worked on cars alot when he was younger. any ideas, please let me know something, i don't really wanna ride it if something is wrong with it, i would rather it sit than me mess it up even worse. thanks in advance guys.

I would look into seeing if there a sort of one way bearing on the kick starter. if there is it might be cracked just my .02
