Folks;
Most times the bike (Z1R) starts on the electric foot, but occasionally it doesn't - so it's got a good old fashioned kickstart fitted as well. (I know, fix the problem, but I had a spare kicker lying around...) The new trick is this - the kickstart will turn the engine over happily without the clutch lever being pulled, as per expected. If I pull the clutch lever in to start the bike, the kickstart swings easily but doesn't turn the engine over - so no go! Obviously something is not being engaged/staying disengaged when the clutch is operated. Anyone know what before I delve into the manual? Any and all ideas gratefully received.
TTFN, Grog.

Kickstart conundrum
1979 Z1R (mostly - it's been fiddled with a bit)

Re: Kickstart conundrum
You know what, just ignore me. I'd no sooner pressed 'send' than it occured to me that it was naff all to do with the bike, I was having a serious case of brain fade. OBVIOUSLY the kickstart won't engage with the clutch lever in. Iv'e not had a drink yet, but I think I'm about to start. West coast tomorrow back on!
