Hello, I just picked up a 2000 fe400e. The bike does not run at the moment due to a bad stator and while I'm waiting for a new stator I thought I would take care of a couple other issues with the bike. One of the problems is with the kick starter. When you push it down, at about the half way point it skips and catches on the very bottom.
I pulled the clutch cover off to take a look and the kick starter shaft has some play in it and it can be pulled out a couple of centimeters. I then put the cover back on because I did not have time to go much further with it and now the kick starter is jammed and will not move.
Before I get back into this does anyone have any suggestions or recommendation's as to what to look for and what to expect? Is this a common problem? Also were can I get a good manual for this bike? Thank you!
