BansheeRider71 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Well, go to www.cascadeinnovation.com and you could buy the spring and ball bearing kit for less than $50 or buy a new fully polished chrome kickstarter withe ball bearing and spring installed all you have to do is bolt on the kickstarter and go its like $110 or $115 or a little more.

BigRed350x Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 There is a HUGE thread about this with walkthrough and parts description that you will need to buy from your local parts store. Its a couple springs and some other little things, cost maybe $5 and it will never rattle again. Go search for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go search for it. yeh i found it http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...hl=kick+starter problem is the only place in my town to buy that stuff i need to buy 100 of each of those pieces. that's their minimum sized boxes...not really worth it, i can buy 1/2 a new kickstarter for that. unless someone wants to send me the pieces! --matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**BrAnDoN** Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I heard you could take it off and ship it to someone who packed/stuffed them or something,I don't know ask my dad BenBB. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomeame Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 i went to my dealer yesturday and bought the guts of the kicker new. we'll see if that helps..for under $2 in parts it's worth a try i figure...they're the same parts that come in that ebay auction i posted up earlier in this thread btw..! --matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar01 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Maybee I am missing someting here, but mine rattled really bad, really bad. Where the kickstart rotates there is an o-ring there. Just replace that. I think it was like 62 cents. I chanegd mine and it is perfect now. what i did was take a thck rubber band andwrap it around where the kick start meets the thinggy that is splind it works awsom no more rattleing for me and cost nothing hope this helps :ninja: Glenn There is an O-ring here that wears out, change that.
