Have you tried adjusting your clutch? On the right side cover, there is a screw and a locknut to adjust it. It's showed on page 3-11 of the manual.

For your kickstart, it might be your one way clutch on page 8-12 of the manual.(can't help you much with this one)

Try printing pages you need to keep your laptop clean :lol:
