so i went out last night to go for a ride and my bike wouldn't start, after about the 5th try i lost all resistance on my kick start. After doing some research on line i am pretty sure that it is the kick start pawl. I just ordered the Snidal book, i know that i need a new pawl but what else should i purchase to do this repair? like the spring, plunger bolt? anything... also what gasket will i need, i see that there are alot of different ones listed in the store but the description is vauge and without knowing the part number that you need it seems to be a bit of a guessing game. I have a 1999 500 bullet deluxe, 4 speed kickstart only that was made for North America.
I recently purchased this bike without having any prior experience with a RE and no local community or friends with RE... are there any other books i should pick up other than the Snidal manual?
thank you
