Seized Kick start?

[ally1756]

Guys if u have a seized kick start do not be tempted to kick it and see if it loosens it, ive heard of so many people snapping them
and today mine seized so i opened her up and the kick start bendix hadn't engaged properly and was stuck if u get a screwdriver and a hammer and GENTLY tap it in the opposite direction itwill pop off, then push the kickstart half way and slide the bendix back on after giving it a good greasing then slowly let the kickstart lever back and youll see it engage properly will get pics up and a guide soon

Dear Alley,
Did you get to do the picks of the seized kick start?
Thanks for replying to my other post

One of the first things I did when I got my scooter was dismantle the housing where the kickstart is, and added a small amount of light machine oil to any purely mechanical interfaces I saw. It seemed to work a lot better - I have feeble legs, so any smoothness in kickstarting was needed.
