General Discussion / Suzuki RM400N Kickstarter
« on: July 24, 2016, 03:56:49 PM »
Hi everyone,
I am after a good quality kick starter for my Suzuki RM400N. When I bought the bike the kick starter was worn so I purchased an after market one from my local shop for $45. It turned up and looked exactly the same as original so was happy, until first weekend of using it and it was stuffed! Pivot shaft bent and stop for lever worn!
Okay I got what I paid for, a cheap kick starter.
Been talking to Vintage Suzuki in US and they have them but will probably be over $200 with freight and US dollar conversion.
Has anyone had experience with them or can you steer me in another direction. Am willing to pay $200 if it is a really good quality kick starter.
I owned a brand new RM400N in 1979 for a year and raced or rode it every week and never had a problem back then
Any help would be appreciated.
