When trying to start my CR250 the kickstarter "strips" and doesn't always stay engaged. I pulled the side cover off and Inspected the various gears and parts related to the kickstarter but I didn't see anything wrong. Does anyone have any comments that may help me with this problem???

Thanks in advance

When this happens it is usually that the kick start pawl is worn. I have the same problem on my '73 cr250m and it is a common problem of hondas of this era, after all the poor old girls are 30 years old. One solution I know some guys have done is replaced the Kick start assembly with one from a mt250, they don't seem to get as much wear. I have just bought an assembly on Ebay and am waiting for it to arrive, when I install it I'll let you know if it solves the problem.

I've installed the assembly, went straight in no probs, and it works fine :lol:
