On my 02 fiddy it will only kick start if I kick easy and slow.The guy I got it from said that the bushings were wore out for the kick starter.Does this sound right?Has anybody had to replace these before?How hard are these to replace?
 
Sounds to me like you need to adjust your clutch. There are no kickstarter bushing that wear out in a CRF engine.

There is an engagement gear with a spring to bring the two together when you kick it.

Maybe your spring is broken or the teeth are worn.

If it makes a noise like ratcheting teeth, then the gears need to be replaced.

If it just kicks through without any noise then you need to mess with your clutch.
