Hey guys I'm Clayton I just got my 78kz 650 and the kick start is not working. What will I have to do to fix it?

Don't squeeze the clutch lever while using the kick starter.

If needed, here's a link for FSM free download:

Click > docs.google.com/file/d/0B0LxNUBYfNL8ZTQ2...mZTdkODdh/edit?pli=1

Index shows Kickstarter at page 93 and at page 161;
and Kick Starter Spring at page 68

Good Fortune!

Poohbear, I've had the kick-start lever not work only once and that was on a Z1. It would catch now and then, it was a worn ratchet. Had to split the cases to fix it by replacement!
