CB500 Four K1 Kickstart mechanism
« on: December 21, 2015, 03:13:45 PM »
Does anyone have a picture of a correctly installed kickstarter shaft on a 500/4 K1.  I rather stupidly didn't take a photo of that on dismantling and want to be sure.  It doesn't seem to work as expected but I might be wrong!

It turns out I had the ratchet 180° out.  Now when the kick start returns to home the ratchet disengages like it should.  I have attached a picture as the ones above don't show it.
