Kick start disconnected ????

Hello, i have just bought my son a Derbi 50 supermoto and when he stalled at the lights he kicked it and pulled off leaving the kick start stuck down on the footrest, he noticed after a few hundred yards because of the noise and sprang it back but it still made the noise but now seems disconnected completely. Any ideas what i need to do and what part/s may need replacing ? Confused

Is the kick start staying up or does it fall down.It maybe the spring or the
sprocket.If the kick start is returning then the sprocket might be missing
the teeth.Not a big job but I dont know the price of the parts.It cant be
much.

The kick start springs back fine, it just doesn't engage with the engine and he has found if he lets it go all the way back it whines but if he pushes it back a fraction it stops, so he has taped it back and bumps it at the mo.

You need to get the cover off and have a look, maybe post a pic on here). Watch out for loose parts dropping out of the bottom and don't lose anything. You might find Derbi parts a bit hard to get hold of but it could be the parts are shared with other bikes.

ive got an Aprilia SX50, its the exact same bike, engine etc. so if you need parts they would also fit, not sure how it broke? my kick start usually springs up unless the bike hasnt started

Thanks people i will have a look during the week and post a picture perhaps. Saw somewhere a kickstart shaft is £43+ vat. About the avatar i was politely told i was naughty and had wrist slapped. Mr. Green

Its not the same as the aprilia.

Drain the gearbox oil, remove the coolant pipes and clutch cable. Remove all the bolts (noting where they go) and have a look at the kickstart shaft. Prob just sheared some plastic teeth off or pulled the spring out of place.

If you take a look on the derbi forum you'll find a manual.

yep, i've got a 2007 SX50 so it's the same, even looks the same apart from 1 or 2 small differences.

Thought i would mention, i have wiggled the kick start about and after a bit it will engage and kick over so could it be an easier fix maybe ?
