I updated the clutch release bearing on my '80 special...and somehow
managed to unhook the kickstart spring as I fumbled getting the side case back on...What's the technique to getting that spring re-tensioned?
@#^%&*!!'d springs!!!

Thanks, 5T
i have a parts fische view from my haynes manual....it's just a little light
on the assembly technique...such as..."re-tension spring with the use of pliers..." Great! is the shaft assembly fully seated at this point? Is the spring tension applied first and the assembly then installed? that sounds like one of those jobs requiring a third set of hands....;-)
