Kick start cap.
« on: March 02, 2025, 07:44:22 PM »
I recall short ago someone on here had a source for these plastic or rubbers bungs/caps that fit into the kick start. Looking for a couple and trying to avoid paying £20 for one!😳😳

I had a few NOS ones but sold them all years ago now.

Maybe someone was 3D printing them, in which case the lad who did the 400-4 and the RD parts, forget his name though.

What you need is a relative or mate on the mainland to post it to, then a re-post via  a Post Office.

That's really strange as all the parts I send to anywhere in UK with Royal Mail cost the same, including any of the Scottish islands / NI / IOM  etc. I know the different couriers, Evri etc either won't send or if they do, they charge more but never with Royal Mail 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I don’t understand that either Julie, I thought it was just some of the couriers that had a problem with the islands. But I am sorted and free postage too!😜

After receiving caps in the post the day thought I would pop one into the 550k1 on the bike lift. Rather annoyingly these caps don’t fit. They just rattle about in the kick start. I will maybe manage to jam them in with an o ring on the back.😡

Just to add done a bit of looking into this (which I should have done before ordering) these are for 400 and 350, didn’t realise they were different size. My fault!
