Horrible grinding noise.. OUCH!
So after finding that my kick start half moon spindle was chewed to *, i got a new one.
Put that on, i know i still need to tension up that spring, but i put everything back on and put the cover back on, and started it up, and it started right up, but there was this horrible grinding sound.
I took the cover back off, and made sure everything was aligned. and everything was good.
Put the cover back on, and bam, horrible grinding sound was still there.
Pulled that cover back off, and started it up without the cover, no grinding sound.
So i have not the slightest idea as to what it could be.
Any help is appreciated!

Make sure that the gears on the kickstarter cover are installed properly as well as the springs. If I remember correctly there are a couple pf washers that go in there too.

heyy haha srry about that i was in a rush and yeah i just confused myself reading that.
ok so u take the cover off and put it on you lap.
the kickstart comes trought the case and attatches to a half moon gear.
when that turns it moves the little gear touching it(worm gear) out ward until it touches the pulley. (therfore turning thee engine over) on the pulley where it touches there are little teeth so it grabs and will turn the bike over.
if ur still with me then yay hah.
sooo on the outside between the kickstart and the case there is a little clip to keep the kickstart pulled out and everything alliend . if it is there r not the spring on the inside can get somehow outta wac and not roll up properly not letting the half moon gear come back fully leaving the worm gear seim outward and not back up against the case making a grinding noise and restrictying the enginee.
so if the spring is messed up the moon gear cant come back to its rest position so the worm gear is semi turned out which is grinding on the pulley so................... either u understand that or i just confused the s*** outta everybody
so either your welcome or my bad some one fix that^ haha
