Glad I didn't go then, I was considering it but the guys I normally ride with weren't keen so I did the Kaiwara, Random Spur, Blyth, Motanau loop instead on the 690

Blu Cru are gearing up for the Craig Pickering, 5 or 6 of the IT crew going

Greta Valley ride 19th January will be the next, as I'm now an unemployed bum I have plenty of time to go riding anytime I please, at least until the money runs out, but then I will just go on a benefit and sit at home drinking and taking drugs like you're meant to

so.. all repairs to the KDX kick start have failed, and I cant find a replacement anywhere, any ideas of where to try that I may not know of?

**F5 Dave** · 20th January 2025, 16:20

Replacement what? Just the lever?

Assume you have been on just kdx site to find what else fits? Last generation model derived from KX?

Up the Mangatuks today on the Beta. Simple gravel roads mostly but a joy just to ride again. .

Got home washed bike, changed dash button battery. Start to check. Won't start. Turns and makes weird noises WTF! Almost starts. Hisses.
Eh?

Italian electrics, um. . . Oh.

Might have left the muffler bung in.

Martin did a repair for me with the kickstart when I had it. I can't remember what went wrong. What is the issue?

edit; Just had a look on KDX200.net. They have a video on adapting a KX250F kicker onto a KDX, assuming the lever is your issue. Great forum.

I used a YZ one for my GG 300. With a bit of gel oven cleaner the blue anodising came off.

worn out... added weld to the contact points but the leaver still rides up and pushes the circlip off and it spins right round... re placed the rubber rings to take slpo out but NOPE... just brought one from the US $300
