Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Busted Kickstarter lever
mikesmith:
I dont have a scanner to print a picture,but it's thicker.I have a '94 also and ride a-lot and just broke my origanal lever after thinking "if it had lasted this long it'd never brake".Buy the new one and keep your old one as a spare,but I dont think the new one will break.Were lucky Kawasaki updated the lever,after all they arent going to spend money on R&D or retooling for a bike thats gone down to less than 5grand!
Benson:
There is a big difference, they increased the Girth where it snaps about 100 percent. I'd just upgrade ASAP. I got my new lever for $85 Online. I'll take a before and after Photo and document the upgrade in a little while.
Benson:
Here is a pic of the lever upgrade.
Benson:
I added an album, with pics that Compare the old Lever to the new and show the typical failure point.
