Title: Kickstarter prices
Post by: yjh50 on February 09, 2010, 03:08:18 PM

I am looking for the cheapest place to buy a kickstarter for the almighty KX500.  The cheapest I can find online is dgy for $82.52.  Does anyone know of a cheaper place to buy?

Thanks in advance...

Just keep trying ebay I've seen them sell as cheap as $20    Look in the listings where people have a box of assorted parts too.

I bought one from cheapcycleparts.com and it was a couple dollars less.  I bought one for a newer bike though it fight the same but was made better in the pivot.  I watched ebay for months for a spare and gave up and bought the new one.  I saw people paying 100 and over for used :roll:

I think I remember a post suggesting how we could mount up 2003 kickstarter mech, if needed replacing b/c they all fit shaft and are shinier or something. :x if you end up buying new, put in 03 on fiche. couldn't find post link

the new kickers are built alot stronger-heavier than the old ones. The last one I replaced was off my 92 and the new kawi part was beefier, so look for one off a newer model.CBX
