kickstart

[PatM]

My newly aqcuired 400/4 hasnt got a kickstart- and a likely replacemnt hasnt come up on Ebay for a while.. Does anyone know what others will fit?

Dont think any will properly

I think that the CB250/360G5 kickstart levers are the same.

I have 2 servicable kistarts shafts, and one kickstart lever, i wont be useing them on mine as having clutch cover tapped sealed and plugged so if needed  pm me 

[Yoshi823]

I think that this one that I have for sale is from a CB250G5. I'll ask a friend with a CB400F if I can try it on his bike.

I know this is an old post, but can anyone confirm if the Honda 250/360 G5 kick starts are interchangeable?

Are you talking about the shafts or the kickstart lever itself?
Shafts I'm pretty sure are not interchangeable - engine internals look different.
Kickstart levers look to have the same diameter splines but G5 unit is about an inch longer so would probably foul the air box.
Are you looking for the parts?

Thanks Chris, yes I mean the lever itself. My 400 came with a Kickstart lever in the box of bits, but I think it is off a CB550 so I am looking to get one. Prices seem high for the 400 but the 250/360 ones are pretty reasonable, suppose that is no use if it does not fit! Any advice on where to look for one would be appreciated.

John, I may be able to help. Have sent you a PM.
