I replaced my kickstart shaft (updated version) and sledge a while back, and have only used it a couple times. I just finished putting on my Revloc clutch and I hear a loud grinding or whining noise. I took everything apart again, and I see that the kickstart gear is grinding on the sledge.
The parts manual doesn't show any thrust washers on the kickstart shaft or gear to keep it off the sledge, and away from the clutch outer basket. How do they expect the gear to not move around and grind on things? Has anyone tried putting thrust washers or shims in there?
