Guys, its kinda strange. i just managed to feel a bit of compression and give a hard kick. it start from it! after which I let it idle for a while and rode for a while. kill it then using the kick starter to feel for the compression and its back to normal again.

sounds like your kickstart ratchet gears are worn and not engaging consistently. Had the same problem on my '89 when I brought it home.
