yes i know this is an old thread and its talking about 500s
but when i bought a new kicker for my 250 the base was twice as thick and beefed up all around

Thats because Kawasaki updated the kick lever to a more beefier unit around 1998 ?
FYI, guys DON'T attempt to weld a broken kick lever..... aluminum is very difficult to weld with respect to high strength loads. A welded kick lever is at some point going to be a trip to the hospital with a snapped ankle, and a smashed cheese grated shin !

wow 1998? then my bike must have had to original kicker on it since 89 and you can imagine how worn out it was!
it would never click in and it would wobble 2cm up and down. but i have the new updated version now.
