The kickstart on my 86 250es works like it should in normal temperatures but when temp goes below freezing it just goes down freely. If I ride it for a couple of minits it works OK again. It is too high in the crancase to freeze up. What should I be looking for???????

Catch me if you can
It's just the one way bearing located in the centrifugal clutch and thick cold oil may cause it to slip.
Are you running 10/30 or 10/40 in colder months?
I imagine 20/50 would /could make it worse......

I was thinking it may be the one way clutch but it has been a lot colder in past winters than this one. I can`t remember if I changed it in this trike or not. The oil is 10w-40 m/c oil. I like to use the kickstart to help the battery out a bit when it is cold. When it warms up a bit I will haul it out and clean it up. Can`t be too much wrong as it works OK when it is run for a couple of minits.
Thanks for the reply.
