Easy fix, common issue on the KDX. Several threads on here about how to fix it. Involves taking off the inner clutch cover, so you would need a new gasket and oil in addition to the parts. You can start HERE to read about it or search kickstarter slips from the forum search.

Very simple fix. I just finished mine up. Your going to look at the gear inside and see nothing wrong with it but do yourself a favor and buy the gear anyways. I replaced the spring and gear and my issue went away. Order the online service Manuel if you have not did so yet. It tells you step by step what to do and gives you all the torque specs and tools needed. Hope this helps good luck
