[QUOTE="hadronuk, post: 43136, member: 1866"] I would also be interested in comments, as I have a similar problem, although with me it is more the whole body is knackered. The kickstart was the first job I did on my bike, as it was both slipping and jamming. I concluded the original cause of the slipping was a weak ratchet spring and dried out grease, causing the teeth to then get damaged. The spares company spring was much stronger being made of thicker wire. Fitting all new bits was expensive, but the kickstart has been perfect since then, so I have put off the electric leg for now.
