CRF450R Kick starter gets stuck ?

My 450 kick starter get stuck ? But it doesn’t happen all the time.

Any suggestions?

Only thing to do is pull the clutch cover off and check the mechanism. Compare it to the picture in the manual. Install kickstarter lever and rotate shaft gently through the stroke. May want to remove spark plug so there is less resistance.

At what point does it get stuck? On the downstroke or after while the arm retracts?

Downstroke

Check your timing.
