kick starter Mech.????
So I had to put a new main shaft bearing in my 500 and I got it all back toether up to all I had to do was put the exhaust on and add coolant. So I thought I would try turning the motor over by hand and the kicker got half way through the cycle and jammed. So took it back apart and redid it and it would do a full cycle but not return on its own or jam when I try to manual return it. Should I wined the spring before putting the cover on?

If memory serves me correctly, the spring only gets a preload that holds it in the up position, when you kick it through, that is when it gets wound tight in order to bring it back to the park position. if you put an extra wind on it then it is probably going into a bind.

Yea I'm thinking thats where I biffed it. I would just hook the spring with out making sure the pawl was under the plate. Im prerty sure the little tension of the spring helps hold it in place too. Cuz iy would push out jus far enough to grab the clutch basket teeth.That's what I get for trying to rush though.

And for those who have a Gen III frame, maybe other too, offset the punch makes by one spline and the kicker won't touch the frame or the pipe.
You'll have to figure out which way to go on that.
