Curious, where are the kickers prone to fail? Where do they break? With a good kick start routine, can this be avoided?

all mine broke at the pivot point,the part and the shaft breaks.the main part of kicker just wears a groove into the monting part and makes it weak and snaps in half.i wish i could find a billet one and not the cast b/s

Only problem with that is, I'd rather have the kicker break at that point. Instead of strengthening the kicker and finding the next weak point inside the case.
