no it was not even hot i had only just gone out on it  

allright, if i understood this correctly, it made a funny noise while riding, and then the kicker felt stiff, then completely locked up? this is exactly what mine did. Take off your clutch look behind it where the kickstart attaches, your idler gear might have cracked out or got damaged and jammed things up. My idler gear cracked right out of teh casing, which made it do exactly as you have described if i understood you correctly sorry if this doesn't help ~pat  
PEACE GUYS ITS BEEN A BLAST!!!!! ~patrick

when i had a kx85 i was riding it and there was a wooping noise from the engine and then the bike locked up. the kick start gets locked. the problem is either that the main Engine Bearing has shatterd like mine did. or even the Piston has seezed.  

ok il have a look at wat you both have said i no the piston hasnt go as i have checked so il have a look and get back and let you know wat i find  

cold seize?

I am also interested in hearing the answer to this question. but i know you have to put them in, and measure the gap of the end or something like that?? I'm thinking mine is gone as well. But it wouldn't do to your bike what has been done. Wouldn't seize up your kick, it just looses compression and is really hard to kick over. But can still be push started, am i correct in this?

i can force the kickstart then eventualy it becomes normal againthen sone as it start it or kick it a few times it jams again and will not bump  

i have took the side casin off and started removin the clucth parts but got stuck on how 2 take off the clucth basket any ideas  

I'll bet it was the idler gear. exactly what mine did. i dumped it trying to jump start it on a trail, and it fell back in place and i could kick it again. as for the clutch basket. all the other bikes are wayyy different then my bike. But on mine. i had to undo one huge nut, that was torqued to holy heck with loctite and the whole 9 yards. Is there a Huge nut on there?  
PEACE GUYS ITS BEEN A BLAST!!!!! ~patrick

yes there should be like 24 mm or larger nut on it and cranked down to i believe like 70 n/m.  

ye i have got 2 the big nut but cant stop the basket spinning any idias please  

well they make these special tools.

but i lay my bike on the floor. put the bike in gear and lock the rear wheel up so it cant spin.
