brand new engine kick...............
just a quick one,my mate just bought brand new wpb 140,when he went to kick it over,he got piston tdc then kicked it over but kick start slipped,surely this should nt happen on brand new bike.it has only slipped once but he is now flapping over it.

Re: brand new engine kick...............
What do you mean slip?
Its quite common for pitbike kickstart gears to slip occasionaly if not engaged correctly when kicking over.
If you mean the kickstart lever on the shaft splines then just make sure its tight, which is mentioned in the pdi instructions.

Re: brand new engine kick...............
Theres a knack to ensure positive engagement of the Kickstart teeth.

Re: brand new engine kick...............
surely the gears should engage how ever the lever is kicked? not a problem i've ever had without there being broken teeth?

Re: brand new engine kick...............
I could be wrong but... Is the clutch adjusted correctly? It might be slipping. Depends what sort of engine the WPB has

Re: brand new engine kick...............

Re: brand new engine kick...............
thats why i set up this thread,its doesnt sound right,especially for a brand new one,
whats this nack to kick it over then so it wont slip??????????????
on my wpb 140 i get the compression right up,and bang,it fires up and same applys to my crf 450???
something must be up for it not to engage,its brand new! its only had 10 mins ride time
