Scooterotica

Evening folks.
The kickstart on my S3 always hits the ground when i kick the scoot over. Is this normal?
Iv'e fitted the kickstart as per the book, Is there anything i can do to stop this happening to my shiney new kickstart so i don't damage it?

Cheers.

It's normal they are not meant to stay shiny.

you could of course try taking your scoot off the stand first ,sitting on it and lean it over to the left a bit before kicking it over

Or park it on the edge of the kerb

or maybe just bump it off

If you are using a kickstart rubber protection it shouldnt mean any harm to the lever thou.. or am I wrong here gents?

Re fit it but put it on a fraction above the engine casing stop, then push it down and on....if done properly should kick over better........

Cheers Timbo i will give that a try.

I hope that happened on soft ground

No!
I was in the garage. At least no-one was watching.
