I am trying to put my 04 Fe650 back together.
I was warned about the kick starter shaft. So when I took the bike apart. I made sure that the shaft did not pull out. Or so I thought.
When I put the side cover back on the shaft stays free until the very end when I torque the side cover bolts. Then it binds.
I have removed the cover and installed the kick starter lever. Then I tried to reseat the shaft. I just can't seem to get it to re seat. The shaft really doesn't allow for me to move it around a whole lot.
My questions are.
How far does the shaft have to pop out before it looses it's positioning?
Do I need to pull the clutch basked to look inside to get the indexing right? I have worked this hard by hand I can't seem to get a feel for what is wrong.
