Kick start lever, GY2 needed.

FastDoc · 10-04-2013, 11:30 PM

My GY's kickstart lever is a little floppy. The little ball indent it not properly made and it flops irritatingly against my leg while riding. No biggie but does anyone have a better kickatart lever I can buy?

Also, the kickstand on this thing is about an inch (or more) shorter than I would like it for security against falling over, especially in the dirt. My guess is that it was made for a bike with smaller wheels. Does anyone have a longer kickstand?

I may resort to mailing it off to Weld and ask for a favor ;-)

I would check eBay, Hooper Imports, and Roketa.com for both items.

I was planning on that but wanted to see if someone here wanted to sell one thta may have been sitting around first. No rush ;-)

Weld may have an xr lever. It should be pretty easy to cut the kickstand and weld a short piece of pipe into the kickstand.

Have you tried to repair the kicker? I've had worn out kickers in the past, and I've shimmed the spring and stamped the ball into the seat to improve the detent. Install an o-ring between the swivel and the base for some added friction. Slather the mechanism with some heavy axle grease and you should have the resistance you need.

I might have a spare kicker, but it depends on the specific shape of yours. I've seen a few different shapes on Honda clones.

I'm happy to extend your kickstand for you. Just LMK.

Mine does the same thing, and it only had 49 miles on the od. I think it is a standard Lifan 163fml.

Thank you!

If I get a chance I'll try to follow your advise on repairing the kicker :-)
