Honda trx450 kickstart Question

[Jason Smith]

I removed my kickstarter yesterday from my 2005 TRX 450R to grease it and a small bearing came out. I can not get the bearing to go back in anywhere. Can anyone explain where this bearing goes exactually? I know it helps keep the kickstart from not fliping out while you are riding.

It goes in the small hole in the shaft that the the kick starter slides on to. There is also a small spring in the whole that the ball goes into it keeps pressure on the ball. You need to put the ball in the hole and hold it there with your finger. Then slide the kick starter down while holding the ball in place, pulling your finger off at the last minute.

Thank you for your help. I had so much grease on the shaft that the hole was filled in. JASON
