05 Kick Start problem

[Black Thunder69]

Has anyone ever had this problem? When I go to kick the thing over it sometimes binds and then releases, it might do this 2, 3, or even sometimes 4 times and then it rolls over. It starts and runs fine. What I am wondering is if anyone had any problems with the crank seizing, but if so wouldn't the thing just lock up? I have been racing the past few weekends and it's been doing it just about everytime I try to start it. Does anyone know of any bearing in there or bushings that could posibley go bad? I even put in a new clutch and fluid and it still does this. To me it sounds like metal on metal when you are kicking and it just gets hard. Help please!!!

this probly aint your prob, but i does that every now and then. but mine is just hanging up on the pegs when i kick it real hard.
it hanges up sp hard some times that i have to jerk it back up by hand. but its only when i wear racing boots, i guess they are just heavyer that normal.

Check behind you kicker to see if the sidecasing is cracked. This was a fairly common problem on some bikes, and some cracked a lot worse than others. Honda said there was a bearing going out in the kicker assembly that caused it to bind and the side case crack. If you have the extended warranty and a decent dealer they should be able to fix it under warranty if it is cracked.

I had the case crack problem a few times

Desratt have you had any problems with your 06 kicker case, or anything?

I have seen the decompressor assy put in wrong on the camshaft and the weight sticks so you have no compression release.. Check that ..

no problems on my 06 kicker only on my 04
