As it is a TZ motor it doesn't have a kickstart but I have managed to get a clutch cover that's designed to accept one. Once I have it fitted I'll be giving it a go.
It has been to Daves place for pipes and a dyno setup so hopefully I won't have any running issues.

Nice bike
For a kick start you'd also need the crank cases to have the hole for the shaft to sit in, TZ crank cases might have it, I don't know, but I wouldn't have thought they would.
Looks like a TZ bottom end with LC top end. |

Looks like a TZ bottom end with LC top end. TZ crankcases are essentially the same as early RD aircooled cases, they have the same castings with a few extra machinings. You are correct, it is a TZ bottom end, the top end is also TZ. OEB |

Is it a TZ700 or 750 top end, I didn't think TZ 250s and 350s had reed valves

Good luck altering your primary cover to fit the kickstart, probably more cost effective to sell the original & buying an aftermarket cover from Fondseca. OEB |

I only know of 2.96 ratio for the 350 and 3.348 for the 250 engine, i was just wondering if there were any other ratios out there?

Totally agree with that last remark, except for Tims bike. Plus no piece of wood under the side stand.
