Mine was due to kickstart shaft piston failing but I have heard that they don't like high HP motors. If I can't get hold of AF I might end up putting a GP box in
I'd of though a gearbox would be made of much harder material than a circlip. Surely the circlip should of been minced up not the kickstart teeth?
I think it was more a case of the circlip and disc/washer letting go and then the piston getting stuck out and smashing the 1st gear kickstart teeth. But agree that all the other parts should have failed before the gear!
