It's really easy. There are actually two possible causes of this problem:
(1) In Extensions » Module Manager, make sure that you have not disabled or changed the module position of the "Kunena Menu" module (see image below):
(2) It depends on your site template, but (using Menu Manager) look at the menu item that points to your Kunena component. You should have something like this:
It is important that the menu type = alias. The parameters of this "forum link" should be like this:
There's a bit more to this, too, and it's all covered in excrutiatingly fine detail in the Wiki article Customised menus , but those are the two key ingredients that you need to have in place. If you don't have these things set up the way I've described then you have either changed something or your site template does not offer a place where the Kunena installer program could place a menu item for Kunena.
The solution is to either try the "trash-burn-build" approach (mentioned a dozen or more times on this site) to rebuild the standard Kunena menu "buttons" or, using your own skills in constructing Joomla websites, build the menu items again, from scratch. What seems rather apparent (from the number of messages posted on this forum) is that Joomla menu item construction seems to be a highly skilled art and may be difficult to teach in a self-help forum like this.
The "trash-burn-build" approach is simple:
(1) Find all menu items that relate to your forum.
(2) Trash all menu items that relate to your forum.
(3) Delete the menu kunena-menu from your site
(4) Empty the menu trash
(5) Use the Kunena control panel option Create Menu
... and that should be all that you have to do. Looking back over the number of times I've answered this question and the amount of time I've spent grabbing and editing screen shots (and the number of screen shots that I've posted here) I hope that, in future, people will read this topic and use the information we've written here. I most sincerely hope that what I've posted on this occasion helps.
Ultimately, if all of this is too difficult for people to do for themselves, there are many people who can perform this kind of service for a small fee, or course.

G'day, yashzn, welcome to Kunena and thank you for posting your message that may help people trying to figure out how to fix their menu problems.
You are quite right. The menu has nothing to do with Mootools. It's a Joomla issue and I think your message may help a few people clear up their misunderstanding that the "missing" Kunena menu is, in fact, not really a problem with Kunena but with their understanding of how Joomla menus work.
Yes, it's possible to create a custom HTML module to fix these things. It's also possible to achieve a working result if people (a) use the Create Menu function in the Kunena control panel or (b) read Customised Menus in the Wiki.
Every little bit helps.
