Gday guys n girls! Im riding a braaap 140pro..its my first bike and im pretty stoked with it! Learing heaps n heaps every time i ride it. BUT!! one of my last rides i think i learnt the hard way. i could not kick the bike over for hours and hours no matter how long i waited/kicked/waited kicked/bump started/kicked..and so on! so i decided to hike the bike up a massive hill and try roll starting it in 2nd gear! MASSIVE mistake!! after getting to the bottom i hade made no progress what so ever so inspected the bike some more to find that the spark was jumping from the coil back to frame..hence why the bike would not start..so i replaced the coil and spark plug lead and bang she finally kicked over.
Problem
It seems spending all that time rolling down the hill trying to bump start it in second has really efd up my 2nd gear.
ill descride as best as i can for all you tech heads out there..
first is normal..change to second..normal UNTILL i give it some throttle! a really grinding clunky sorta noise, slips back to first, and then seems back to second and the grinding noise..3rd and 4th are all completly normal..??
it seems second gear is absolutely spent and ripped to shreds? does this seem the obvious case and how hard is it to fix?
ive broken down the right hand cover and all kick start gears seem perfect..no metal fillings and no missing teeth? how do i acces the gears and inspect the second gear?
any feedback would be awsome cause at this stage i have and open engine that im trying to keep dust out of! cheers guys!
