Justintoxicated Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 Ok I have a small dialema Yea I know it's nothign critical. I was going to order the kicker rebuild from RMATV but I'm not sure how long it will last. However as of now I'm afraid my kick starter may fall off if I go riding this weekend and I do plan to ride. It has play up and down and pops open while I'm duning it really sucks! What do you all suggest I do? I don't think I can send the kicker out to holyman and still get it back ontime for this weekend ride. I wish I didn't sit on this last week but thats what happens I guess. Anyone have to rebuild their holyman kickers yet? Quote

It will take you like 20 mins to do it yourself! If anything it will get you thru this weekend, and you can send it out after that! Quote

It might be hard to do that since I do not have a drill Quote

fixitrod Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 You could just take it off, clean and grease it then throw and oring or two under it for the weekend. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted April 4, 2005 Author Report Posted April 4, 2005 fixit that might work, but I think my screw is really messed up. Do you happen to know what size O-ring goes in there? I can stop by kragen on the way home, and hold off on ordering the rebuild kit for now. if it fails though, I'm not sure RMATV could get it to me by friday if I don't order from them within the hour.

fixitrod Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 I'm not sure on the oring. It just goes in there to keep it from rattling but doesn't last to long.. should be fine for the weekend though. If you take it apart you can get the idea. Good luck on getting that screw out. Quote
Guest nightmare Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 I used to put rubber bands around my kiker to try to quiet it down. That might get you through a weekend, I would definately send it to Holyman after this weekend. He does great work! He fixed mine last year, and it is still rattle free. Quote
Otis Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 dont bother getting that rebuild kit from rocky mt.....I bought one a couple months ago(not even 2 mos) and the damn thing is rattling again....do it yourself or send it to HM.... Quote
dnhyoung Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Send it directly to holyman, and do not delay. I must say that it's one of the best mods I have had done tomy bike. I don't know what he's charging now, but it's worth the money. to holyman Quote
Barracuda Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 I know its cheesy and if you dont get it rebuilt in time, just get a smallbungee cord, secure one end to the frame near the kicker, wrap the bungee around the kicker a few times, then back to the frame. One it wont rattle all weekend, and mre importantly, it wont fall off when riding. RoostKing... Quote
trail rider Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 I got the rebuild kit from RM atv and after I put it all back together, the damn thing 10 times harder to pull out .For a while untill it broke in, Every time I had to start it I'd have to get off and use both hands to pull that fucker out, and then POP and I'd be down on my ass Quote
fixitrod Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Go here to see the Holyman mod everyone is talking about http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...hl=holyman+tech Quote
rjvoight Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Send it to Holyman, especially if your screw is already stripped out. Tough it out this weekend and then send it off to Holy, his work is great. I have only had mine back for two rides but it is rattle free and solid. RJV Quote
Justintoxicated Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Posted April 5, 2005 can someone pm me Holymans email address I hear he does not respond to PM''s Thanks for the advice. Thats the kind of info I needed on the RMATV rebuild kit. Now I don't have to order all this other stuff that I don't need yet Quote
