My Kickstart Hits My New Gnarly

(1/2) > >>

KXcam22:
The tip of my kickstart hit my new Gnarly pipe (yes I finally got one).  Whats the best fix?? Rotate, bend, pad?? Cam.

air:
Take the allen bolt off that hold the kickstarter on and line it up different on the teeth. Prolly 1 tooth to the left should do it

gowen:
Cam, I just learned to live with it. Because if you rotate it, you will lose the FULL kick. But, if you are in tip-top shape and can kick the heck out of the starter, you will have no issues rotating it. And congrats on the pipe!!! LOL

Arigato:
Rotate it one notch forward and you should still be able to get a full stroke.  If not, grind a bit off the tip where it hits.

FuriouSly:
Yo....   Definately, rotate one notch forward. You will actually have more than a full kick, but watch to see if it still hits the footpeg on the bottom of stroke.  Don't want to stress the kickshaft/spring.  Don't forget the locktite and torque.
