Hey Bob - I suspect you may have figured it out by now, but I just ran into a similar issue on my 370. As this is a "primary kick start" design (i think that is the correct term?), kick start dont work when clutch is pulled in.
On my bike, the round rod that is in the side case (clutch arm and cable hooks to the outside end of it), was sticking or not indexed properly etc, such when the cover was on, the clutch was partially disengaged - (I vefified cable tension was not the issue). I pulled the cover off, tried to kick it over, worked perfectly! I cleaned up the rod etc. made sure all was lined up properly, buttoned it all back up, no issues after that!
