Kickstart drops when changing gear

Forums

The kickstart on my 1948 ES2 drops then rises again when I change gear. Any ideas?

This sounds a bit like a Commando problem which is a result of the layshaft bearing failing. might be worth taking the gearbox apart and taking a look. The lay down gearbox on your single is not so different internally from the AMC ones used on later Nortons.
