Kick start replacement
« on: July 25, 2015, 10:13:54 PM »
Hi guys,

Just bought myself a 78' 550K with a few issues.

On of which is the kick start spindle. I think someone has previously kicked the bike over with a loose kickstart pedal and rounded off the splines... and tried a number of repairs in attempt to get the kick start pedal to bite the shaft.

How easy/is it possible to replace the shaft? I havnt had a chance to look yet and im not with the bike at the moment.

Just thought id ask!

Thanks

I think I read a past post were someone replaced it though the sump, or was it a dream.

Thanks for the fast response! Appreciated.

Thats good i dont have to split the engine then, it starts great off the starter motor anyway. I think i'll ride it as-is until winter when i'll be taking the engine out to powdercoat the frame, will fix the mechanism with the engine on the bench

Thanks again!
