When I bought my scooter it had a kick start issue, so much so when the kick start shaft was changed it split the casing. However it looks like it had previously been catching on the first gear cog as some of the teeth had worn but it usually got some purchase but occasionally clicked and banged before trying again.
I recently took the side casing off to change the front sprocket and noticed the kick start shaft was bent. Had it changed and it was all right for a couple of times but now the kick start just straight down but it is touching the 1st gear but not connecting. Not opened it up yet but suspect it has ragged the circlip out again.
It's a 186 and has a lot of compression anyway but I don't jump on it to start it just press down swiftly.
I think I know the answer just looking for reassurance really
