As you try and get the cover off, You tap the end of the kick start shaft inwards,
So that the Kickstart shaft stays where it should be, It can't come out with the cover because
It's held by the big spring,
You also have to disconnect the clutch cable !!
When refitting the cover, At the last 1/2" slip the Kickstart lever on the splines and move down a touch to help the cover go in all the way.
The photo shows a long one at the bottom, That's NOT on yours ,That is for left hand Kickstart.
Mind that K/S Spring , It's very strong !!, You have to unhook the spring to get the shaft and gear
off, You may not need to !!,
Fingers crossed.
