350x kick start

[whyhike82]

Is it possible to reinstall the kickstart shaft into a 350x without taking the clutch off? The decompression cam broke and i replaced it now i cant get the kickstart shaft back in right. Matt

BTW - Welcome to the boards!!!

I do have the manual and it says take it off. As much time i spent messin with it i could have already takin the clutch off.

Welcome to the glorious and frustrating world of vintage rides. My buddy is going through kick starter hell on his 85 350X right now.

That shaft has to be tipped to the right and turned 90 degrees or so so the latch gets behind the catch before it can go in completely. So... I'd say no it cannot but I don't have one in front of me this second to verify that....
