mealexme Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hey guys, i have a ratteling sound coming fromwhere my kickstart is. I have taken the cover off (eventually) and all looks fine, nothing is loose and nothing has worn away.I am planning to go on a 40 mile all round trip and dont want it dying on me 20 miles from home... any ideas what it could be, or what i could do to find out?

eastanglianbiker Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 it could be the kick start quadrant the bit the kick start connects to with the teeth on it or it could be the speed variator and the rollers that the belt runs on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastanglianbiker Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 take the casing off and see if there is any sign of damage to the belt and check where belt runs for free play as there are rubber rollers in there that wear and it could be that but could be almost anything down in that area get it running put it on the centre stand and have a listen around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
