Shorter Kickstarter Lever.

(1/1)

jamex:
After doing Larry's decompression mod, my bike starts like a dream, I noticed Brute asked in Larry's post if anybody had tried fitting a shorter kickstarter lever, has anybody? I have also considered this, is there some other shorter lever available that will fit onto the splined knuckle?

Foxx4Beaver:
not that I'm aware of...the 250's kicker completely encloses the boss and uses a set screw for disassembly, and the 500's kicker has a snap-ring on the top of the boss for disassembly....and the shafts are different as well.

here's the 250...


here's the 500...


this doesn't mean you couldn't find another kicker from a completely different bike and be lucky enough for it to work.
maybe another member might know.

have a look at a honda cr kick starters, i have bought a 90's cr250 (longer) to put on my sons 96 cr125 (shorter) i had to separate the levers off the knuckles, and ended up with a 125 knuckle and a 250 lever, worked well..
