up.yours Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 howdy, my kick starts ,ball bearing and washers dont hold the kick arm steady any more ,it swings out when im on the go,i put a new C clip and thicker washer in their to try and pack it but its still the same,also the ball bearing appears to work fine,what can i do other than replace the kickstart.

shed hermit Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 try drilling out the recess (slightly) where the ball-bearing sits and a stronger spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shed hermit Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 there should be a small indentation that the ball-bearing sits into to keep the kickstart in place, its this that you drill. if you take the circplip and washer off then slide the the kick start off you will see it. watch when you take it off that the bearing dosent shoot out.
