Yes there should be a little bit of play left to right. If you put the crankshaft to the top & pull on it there should be no upwards play.Originally Posted by Phil_86
Problem described could be many causes, primary drive gears, clutch cogs, some gearing gone & jammed, kickstart mechanism broken.
Until seeing the bike & taking off the clutch cover etc you wouldn't know.
Have you dropped the oil & if so were there any chunks or shavings in the oil?

the only thing that happened was the silencer bit of the exhaust blew out. and some of the baffel had come out.

The workshop manual I gave you will let you know how much play it should have. And it will give you all specs to measure for the bike.
Sounds like the kickstart mechanism to me. You can follow that manual to get to the kickstart or see if a mechanic off here will do it for you.

trust me my dad is an engineer we heard a crunch insid of the engine. the kickstart would get to a point then crunch it sounded like the piston was hitting something?
Hardcore Biker
i think its something to do with the kickstart as well. either the spring or the mechanism itself.

if the piston had hit something there would be damage to both the piston & bore. pistons are aluminium & the bore has a nickel plated sleeve which is very soft hitting the slightest thing will cause visible damage.

Welcome to KB phil86, I was the guy on the KDX who stopped to see if you needed a hand and went to get you a tow (although your mate beat me to it.) Didn't sound nice when you demonstrated the 'noise'.. Trust the guys on here offering help, they're cool....

im not trying to be a dick about it just want to find a mechanic who will work on it i have it completley pulled down piston out but dont want to go near the bottom end lol . leave that to the guys who know what there doing .thanks foor gwetting me a tow man.
Hardcore Biker
Unless the piston is seriously the wrong one it should not be able to hit the bottom of the crank. Without hearing the noise and seeing the bike it is hard to think what it could be. I have fixed a bike that was just the kickstart mechanism even though the owner thought it was the crank bearings...
Different types of crunches and knocks can represent different things going wrong.
Am happy to have a quick look at the bike but I'm all the way over on the shore.
