Mt pitpro does that sometimes too. I usually putit in first and roll the bike forward then back into neutral and kick again and it works.

Maybe your kickstarter gear thing is worn away.

because the kick start does not run on cogs it runs on a one way bearing or sumthing doesnt it? i am not sure so i am kind of clueless.....

take clutch cover off, be carful not to rip gasket, check cogs on kick starter, bet they are very worn teeth.
mayb u are kickin it over to hard? u should only be using soft kicks to get these started.
