XS650 with the Clutch Cover Off

Several people have asked, recently, how to put the kickstart spring assembly back together after having the clutch cover off. So here is a picture of it connected properly, ready for the cover to go back on.

Many people have also had problems with their transmission skipping gears and ending up in a false neutral. I have found this spring can break and cause that very problem. It's easy to bend a new hook on it and put it back in service. As you can see it's easy to reach with needlenose pliers without removing the clutch basket.
