kx500 broken kickstart lever

(1/3) > >>

motopunk:
thats what happened me today. wanted to go on a short ride and then broke the kickstart lever before the motor started ..  :-(

 i have some 250 kickstart levers. and i think the upper part of the lever in the middle of the pic could fit to the lower part of the k5 kicker..
any opinions on this?

Goat:
That is actually a common problem. They make an updated kicker but I don't remember off hand where I found them. I'm sure someone will remember on here.

If the 250 will fit the 500 portion I say try it. Just make sure there are no clearance issues before giving it a good kick. That could hurt pretty bad. Let us know if it works out.

motopunk:
I just looked straight into the online-oem-lists. there is either the complete kickstart lever! or all apart, but not the top. then that is hard to compare . the newer kicker of the 89-2004 k5 looks similar to the 250 kicker that I have.
I will try it tomorrow. i need the bike on sunday and its not enough time to get a new or used kicker ...

motopunk:
problem solved. :-)
 the top of this older kx250 kicker fits perfectly on the lower part of the kx500 kicker.
  the only difference between the kickstart levers is the diameter of the kickstart shaft. all else is equal.  8-)
some new o-rings and water resistant grease and my kickstart lever is like new.  :-D

Goat:
Sweet! Glad it worked out. Try to not break this one :P
