Kickstarter Issues
hughes:
Thanks Rick,
You explained the issue and problem alot better than I did.

A welder, I would have never thought of that. :-) I've already ordered a kickstarter :-( which is not cool, but I do have a mig and will try to patch the previous kick starter. I will just keep the new one as a backup for when this one gives up the ghost. :-)
Just as a second curious question I wanted to ask how I can get my kickstarter off the shaft? I'm stuck and cannot remove it. I don't want to try at it cause it might bust the aluminum casing. Thanks
Rick:
While I have never had this problem, you might try a power steering pully puller, as it is about the right size. The question I would have is if there is enough room to get the puller between the case and the kick starter.
Gabe, I spent all day yesterday changing the 500 for woods running (see my post), and it now flies through the woods. If you are not doing anything on January 2nd, I'm going to enter the Hare Scrambles about 50 miles north of you and you can come a play (probably on your 250). Just give me a call if you want to join in the fun. Since I don't have anything to do next week, I might arrive early and help Mark and Jill set up the course or work on their new building or....ride.

Use some never size when you put it together.

Hi Rick, let me find out tomarrow what my schedule is, the 2nd I believe is on a Sunday. Mark and Jill, they are NC Motorsports Park. Is this going to be there? I would still like to get out and ride, I believe I can go, but I will have to let you know tomarrow (christmas eve). But, would really like to ride, I have not thrown my leg over a bike since you were here in Raleigh and a little before. So, I would like to ride, but it will more than likely be just myself. Thanks for letting me know,
BTW, how was your time at the track?
