Annoying kickstarter....lol

[225GUY]

It rattles like crazy ALL the time. It also swings out the whole time Im riding and just about goes through my leg. It has ripped my pants many times. LOL What do you guys do to keep it in against the bike? I can deal with the rattling, but not it coming out into my leg..... Thanks.

Just rebuild it. There is a ball, a spring, and a detent in there. You can buy the parts through Yamaha.

There is also an Oring in there. Buy a second Oring from the hardware store, and SMASH that down.

It'll stay good for a much longer time.

duct tape :shrug:

Fuck going to yamaha and FUCK duct tape!

 

Go to Ace or some hardware store, get the small oring one size larger and if need be get a new sring. I rebuilt my kick starter for i think 75 cents instead of buying a $10 kit.

I just get the parts from the dealer.. i thinkit totals like 3 bucks or somthing...

I use a large rubber band like the ones to hold in trash bags and hook it around the frame, It stretches so its not in the way when I kick it. Of course the best thing is to rebuild it right.

I still like the duct tape idea :shrug:

good one.

Take it apart, bring the spring and orings to the store. The ball bearing won't wear out, and they're not going to have the hold down bolt at the store.

Buy two orings and a long enough spring to where you can cut it.

 

Cut the new spring a hair longer than the old, stack two orings, smash it down in a vice. It'll last a LONG time.
