If when you kick start a kx125 01 and the kick starter is really soft to kick but it turns on fine and runs fine what it could it mean could it mean it may need a new piston or has low compression?

It could mean low comp.But a 125 has very little compression and a very short stroke.
Gearing ratio is a lot less also for the kick to be easy.

What causes no compression in a 2 stroke dirt bike?
No compression could be various things from your piston to your crank start with your piston by doing a compression test
What causes low compression in an engine?
It could be a few things. Mostly likely a leaking head gasket, worn out piston, piston rings or cylinder.
What would make a piston on a Chevy 350 have no compression?
A piston without compression in a Chevy 350 engine could be due to a broken or worn piston ring, a damaged cylinder wall, a blown head gasket, or improperly seated valves. Any of these issues can result in loss of compression and affect the engine's performance.
What are the advantages a mechanic could get if he is skillful in setting piston to top dead center compression stroke?
yeah men
What could cause low compression in all cylinders of a 1986 Isuzu Trooper with an inline 4?
AGE ! if it is low compression and not no compression then your piston rings and valves are worn too much and the engine probably needs to be rebuilt.
How do you tell if piston rings are bad?
The engine will be losing compression, and possibly burning oil. Check each cylinder to determine the compression. The loss could also be caused by a valve problem.
Why does only one cylinder have no compression on my Chevy 355?
The lack of compression in one cylinder of a Chevy 355 engine could be caused by a number of issues such as a leaking valve, a blown head gasket, a cracked piston, or improper sealing of the piston rings. It is recommended to perform a compression test and further diagnostic tests to identify the exact cause of the low compression in that cylinder.
Why is number 1 piston and number 2 piston not firing2002 Pontiac grand prix gtp supercharged?
Take a compression test Could be a bad head gasket Bad plugs? Bad wires?
When an 03 kx125 shut off while riding the kick start is jamed?
need more information but could be something as serious as a blown piston. Piston could be jammed so the kick starter wont move also.
What causes a cylinder to lose compression in a 4.9 6 cyl?
Burnt Valve, worn piston rings, blown head gasket, or cracked head.
Does engine need to be replaced when there is no compression?
If there is NO compression on any of the cylinders, you've probably slipped the timing belt/chain. Just knowing that there is no compression is insufficient information to make a decision about replacing the engine. You COULD need to have the engine rebuilt, or it's possible that a valve "kissed" a piston and the engine is toast. Or... it could be something else. If it's just low compression in one or two cylinders, it could even be caused by burned or sticking valves.
What is zero decking an engine and is it a good idea for streetable compression on a 383 stroker with flat top pistons?
zero deck means to have the block shaved down so the piston crown is the same height . most stock engines have .003-.005 clearence from the deck down to the piston. depending on the compression chamber size of the head, this could put the compression ratio upwards of 10 to 1. that puts you using racing fuel. could get expensive. there are several ways to get power without excessive compression. maybe forced induction? blower or turbo?
