this has probably been asked and answered on here before, maybe more than once...but has anyone ever tried a kicker from an '89-'02 CR500?...since they are made/pre-bent for the lowboy pipe set-up...not sure if the shaft/spline size would be the same...but could be worth looking into.
or maybe you could swap out just the KX kicker peddle, keeping the KX boss, and put a CR peddle onto a KX boss...I don't know if it's possible, just a thought.

Is your kick starter actually hitting your pipe?

Not a bad idea... but i've never seen any one mod the kick starter before...

i see your problem here with your cooling... you should not have the hose at the bottom connecting the radiators together...
Instead you should have the hose coming out of the water pump going to the right radiator at the bottom.. next, the top of the right radiator should go to the top of the left radiator.. next, the bottom of the left radiator should go to the top of the engine.. and you obviously have the hose going from the cylinder to the water pump right.. thats it! and whether the engine pumps one direction or another it will work the same.. i think that will work just fine. what you did was run the hose from the top of the radiators to the cylinder before it had a chance to flow thru the left one...
