Do you just use the kick start? They were for emergencies. Broken spring?

Have you tried taking the cover off to have a look?
Do you have a manual?

I would take the side covers off and have a looksie. I had an issue like that on a 650 where it would kick over easily but after a bit of riding it felt like the kickstart was totally jammed when I tried to restart it after a pit stop. Turns out something wasn't right with the way I had put the parts and side covers back on after some maintenance work, something inside was binding, especially moreso when the engine heated up. I couldn't tell you exactly what it was though, as I just kind of disassembled and reassembled and the issue went away.
