Kickstart...

So, I need to tear into my motor to repair the starter clutch... But i know how to do that thanks to the search function! :side:

My question is, since I am in there, can I remove the kick start mechanism as well? or will I have to break apart the case as the book leads me to believe...

Thanks in advance

Keep it!
It will probably save your ass more than once.
Mine did.

oh no, i don't want to get rid of it, thats currently the only way to start it, but it slips really bad sometimes, so i was curious if i could replace parts!

I believe cases have to be split. You can split the cases by pulling the engine and just pulling off the bottom case after removing the case covers. Quite a bit of gasket scraping but you don't have to pull the block or head.
