Thanks very much! How about with the kickstart? Do you nees to push it down until it gets hard then just go past that then bring it back to the top?

Im not trolling. Terms like "tdc" and compression are in the manual that came with my new bike. Ive spent so long saving for this bike and i just dont have the money to get the bottom end rebuilt!

Thanks for the advice! Does it damage it if you kick it from the wrong place or is it just harder to start? Thanks

In the manual it says to move the kickstart down until it stops and kick from there. Why is that? I found i can start it easier from the top
