so got the engine rebuilt ect and it fired using the electric starter, so i left it alone an assumed it to be good
at the time i didnt have a kickstart pedal so couldnt use that to start but i just bought one and it appears it is not turning the motor over but it moves freely and easily downward by hand (no normal feeling of compression) the bike is on the table in neutral.
does it have to be in gear or somthing for the k-start to engage and turn it over?
if not i must have misssed somthing when putting the pieces back together
