I have recently noticed that when trying to kick start my bike the gears won’t grab but half the time and makes starting a pain. I have not taken anything apart yet, and was hoping someone could tell me exactly what I need to order. I usually order from Rocky Mountain Atv just because I can order the parts I need instead of the whole assembly. Any advice would help being I’m a amateur at working on bikes.
Thanks

If it were me, I would drain the oil & remove the clutch cover. Then you can get a visual inspection of what is going on. Just guessing, maybe the spring behind the ratcheting mechanism failed.
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Check for worn teeth. They wear down over time. There is a "kickstart only catches some of the time" thread here every few months.
