[QUOTE="tri-mx'er, post: 510782, member: 23418"] I recently bought a new YZ450F, and love it despite a few bugs. However, this weekend the kickstart lever seemed to "slip" or jump a tooth when I started it. It was one of those things where "I thought I felt something, but I'm not quite sure". Well, when I washed the bike I noticed that the kickstart lever has rotated back to the point it is touching the frame when turned in to the "ride" position. I removed the lever figuring the splines on the thing had stripped, but that wasn't the case. I rotated the lever 2 splines clockwise and re-installed. Its now in the correct position, but I know this isn't the problem. Something has slipped internally, and I am wondering what it could be. My biggest concern is having something break inside and trashing the motor. Is this a valid concern, or if the thing really breaks will the filter catch any particles before I do big damage? What all is involved in removing the kickstart shaft and inspecting it to see what the problem is? Thanks. Tri-mx'er [/QUOTE]
