Rock the bike gently forward and back while shifting into fifth gear. Now push the bike forward while sitting on it and see if the rear tire turning will turn the motor. If not, your motor is stuck. If it turns, you have a kickstarter issue.
Many people never learned to depress the kickstarter down until you feel it engage before kicking it through. Kicking from the top slams the gear teeth together and causes damage. You may need to pull of the engine cover to determine if there’s damage.

no
the sump oil deteriorates if too hot and that destroys the engine
It is designed to have an oil cooler so fit one
Probably removed because it was damaged
contact a dealer service for the oil quantities and viscosity requirements

Check your stator for functionality after it stops running. Electrical problems often seen like fuel symptoms.

Don't hold the lever in as you kick. It is designed to get you just past TDC on the compression stroke. Try this:

1. pull in decomp lever (it should stay down)
2. slowly move kick start down. STOP as soon as the decomp lever pops up.
3. return kick starter to the top of the stroke.
4. kick smoothly all the way to the bottom. (takes very little effort)
5. no start? return to step 1.



If it still problem try check the adjustment on the decomp lever. The lever should stay down until you rotate the engine with the kick start to just past TDC on the compression stroke.

Cannot help you with the actual specifications you require, but the below link has provided further threads to the specs I've needed prior to getting a service manual for all of my bikes.

Cheers.

it is a switch that wont let you ride away with the side stand down. The bike will probably start in neutral, but when you put it in gear, or go to let out the clutch, the switch will turn off the engine, unless the stand it up pushing the switch closed

is it getting fuel? try tipping a very small amount of fuel down rhe plug hole, replace the plug if it fires you have a carb problem.

Petcock on and gas flowing through it? Is it vacuum actuated, or just on/off/res?

The bit that ingages the kick start is half way along the rear hand break cable.
you can push it with your hand and kick it over.
also try re tensioning you brake cable
this can be done at two pionts along the cable at the end or on the balance bar (10mm spanner required)
This needs to be adjusted as the pads wear down.
