Took the bike for a ride today and parked it with no problems. Went out an hour later and the kick is locked up solid. Also have Goki electric start and its humming like its jammed. Put it in gear and shoved it forward and was able to get one full kick out of it then it jammed again. Put it in and jerked it backwards, same story, one full kick and its jammed up again. Any ideas??

Catch me if you can
I'd say the GOKI is the issue.... Tear off the flywheel and see what the kicker does.........

Bear with me, I have never been accused of being a mechanic. Im fairly handy, but not familiar with this starter (it was on the bike when I bought it) . So you are saying just unbolt the electric starter and see if this frees things up?

if its anything like a car starter somtimes the bendix in them sticks. try tapping on the starter to free it up.

IDK if they have a bendix, they may have a direct gear that drives in one direction and freewheels in the running direct, but that can screw up to as well as the ring gear going bad and jamming.
Lay it on the right, pull the cover off, use a free manual from the site for the basics, contact GOKI for starter/ring gear install or ask about your issue.
Gotta start somewhere!

Got it figured out. Took the starter and the shaft with the gear on it was completely broken off and jammed in the flywheel.
Thanks for the help guys
