Kick start

Hi,

When I'm accelerating on my G2, the kick start moves backwards (almost to the nine o'clock position) and then returns back to normal when the throttle is released. I assumed it was the return spring so I replaced it - but it's exactly the same. Anyone know what's up with it?

confused.

This started happening to me after I came off. I believe the k/start shaft is bent. Only happens in 1st gear though.

Thanks for the replies. Will it do any harm to leave it as it is until I've got time to replace the shaft ? It won't lock the box up or anything will it ??
