"Kick back is when the air/fuel mixture lights off BEFORE the piston reaches Top-Dead-Center. This sends the piston backwards..."
this is not our problem, if it was... it'd bust the case every time.
ours just runs up against the compression stroke and stops and or runs backwards a little.
when it runs back a little, you may hear some gear noise.
if it goes back a lot you may hear a twang, which is the torque limiter letting go.
not sure when the EU bikes got it, but it's in everything after '95 here.
and yes, intruders have the same torque limiter.
