I was going down a hill and the back tire locked up and stalled so i tryed to start it it wouldnt so i tryed to kick start it and the kick start is seized what do you think my problem is ?
Check the sprockets. Got a stick or rock binding the chain? Remove the chain. Does the wheel spin freely? Brake frozen?
Since your bike is water cooled, a seized piston is not too likely. Got water in the radiator? Most likely is a broken torsion spring on the kick start shaft. The adjacent ratchet wheel and the kick shaft should be inspected. The ratchet wheel should have a smooth movement. If not then replace it. The kick shaft should not show wear or damage. The same is true for the kick gear and idler gear. Replace as needed.
The only other possibilities are a frozen main bearing, (not likely), a broken or severely bent shift fork, (more likely than a main bearing).
Please rate this solution. Thanks!
Okay, so what do you find?
Okay, can you disconnect the starter to eliminate it from the possible list of what could be freezing up the motor?
Assuming the chain is not the problem, and the kick start is the problem, the cost to repair will only be the cost of the parts. The kickstart repair is something you can do yourself. Disassemble the kick mechanism and that the parts to the dealer. Then you can match up the parts they give you with the old parts to be sure you get the correct parts. Same thin goes for the starter if that is the problem.
An inappropriate rating is for a solution that is not related to your problem. If someone responded, "Check the air in the tires," or "The icemaker is broken, buy a new one," those would be inappropriate. Suggesting the most likely sources of your problem is not an inappropriate answer.
I am trying to help you out. Change the rating to " helpful " ?
It is VERY good that the wheel spins and you can shift without a problem. So that leaves the kick start mechanism, starter motor, piston seize and main bearing as the remaining possibilities.
PLEASE CHANGE THE RATING. As a matter of pride I try to help.
Let me know what you find out. Thanks.
