Title: Kick start cap.
Post by: Johnny4428 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 Â£20 for one!😳😳

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

Apparently Orkney is too remote to post to, so I thought I would check to see where they do post to.

Post by: Nurse Julie on March 03, 2025, 09:13:05 AM: 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 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Post by: Johnny4428 on March 03, 2025, 06:27:36 PM: I donâ€™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!😜

Post by: Johnny4428 on March 07, 2025, 06:13:25 PM: After receiving caps in the post the day thought I would pop one into the 550k1 on the bike lift. Rather annoyingly these caps donâ€™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, didnâ€™t realise they were different size. My fault!

Post by: Bryanj on March 09, 2025, 08:33:17 AM: But the advert says for 500 and 550 so if it dont fit get back to seller unless you ordered a different one

Post by: Johnny4428 on March 09, 2025, 07:24:32 PM: No my mistake Bryan. I just went onto their eBay site but unfortunately it was for the smaller ones. Didnâ€™t realise they had different ones. Iâ€™m sure they would change them.

Post by: Johnny4428 on March 10, 2025, 02:55:27 PM: Now sorted. Two small thin o rings and fits perfect. Saves sending them back.
