kx500 broken kickstart lever

<< < (2/3) > >>

motopunk:
thx...   i will pet it softly before hard kicking... :lol:

motopunk:
... and it happened again... the next old aluminium kickstart lever was taken by the reaper on sunday...  :|

and today i could fix the problem... i found on ebay an used kicker of an " ī85 kawasaki klr 600". it looked if it could fit to the kx500 .the kicker isnīt aluminium.its forged massive steel. and the both kickstart shafts of kx500 and klr600 are similar with a small difference in attachment. :-)

 bought it on monday, came to me on tuesday. and after a smart modifying and welding on the lower part, it fits and works great...  :-D  8-)

Very nice work. I'll have to remember to grab one of those kickers if I ever break mine. The splines the same as the 500?

USMC 500:
You need to get a kickstarter for a 2004 KX500......I'm not sure about earlier years but I know that for sure the 2004 K5's came with a kickstarter that was beefier right at the spot that you are breaking.....once you get a kickstart lever I HIGHLEY recommond getting this done.....

I thought everyone had decompression? lol I swapped heads so I don't currently have decomp on my 500. It does make it nice, especially when your at the end of the day and tired.
