Do you have to hold handle down to flush Kohler toilet?

If you have to hold toilet handle down to flush the toilet completely, that’s usually caused by a flapper that is not totally lifting away from the flush valve. As the water keeps leaking down through the flush valve into the toilet bowl, the water level in the tank never rises high enough to shut off the water flow.
