G2 Kickstart shaft removal

Post by Rees »

Hi all, anyone know how to remove the kickstart shaft on a G2?. I have removed the main casing and gearbox casing,kickstart spring and clutch cable. The manual says to just pull it out [there does not appear to be a circlip holding it in]. Try as I might it will not budge, is there something I am missing?.
Cheers, Daveski.

Some have a circlip some don't. I'm not clear about the position you are in with the box, but you cannot remove it from the outside, you have to remove the inner cover and push it through. That means removing the ratchet thingy and the mainshaft nut.
