Kawasaki / Re: 1983 kx500 kickstart idler gear

« on: April 28, 2018, 11:11:57 pm »

Okay. I remembered how to post pics.

I bought the complete 1985 KX500 Kickstart mechanism. From memory I used the existing 83 idle gear.

The Kickstart lever was bought on ebay from a seller called 'quadchik261'. I just checked and that seller does not have anything currently listed though.

It was listed as a "1985-2004 KX500 Kickstart Lever".

Here are a few pics of it.




Ebay item number 401279227115 would be the same.

Let me know how you go!

Gday Paul. The complete 1985 KX500 Kick assy bolts straight in and you can then use the later alloy kick lever as the shaft is straight and not tapered off. I would assume the 1985 Idle gear is also interchangeable? (not sure on idle gear).

I did the 1985 setup on my 1983 KX500. Works perfect.

I will see if I can upload a pic.... need to remember how....

The engine was just a shell wasnt it? Was that the one? No crank/piston/clutch etc?

Fb always has sellers that do that... advertise at a price - then sit back and take the highest offer regardless on who said they would take it.
I dare say it actually sold for more that the asking price. People are screaming for the 83-84 KX5's.

I've been "back-doored" like that a few times, so to speak ....

haha.... "guns" ? Thanks Kenneth.... 

Love the Crystal Brook track. Been almost 2 decades since I've ridden there!

Quick query for any of the WA guys: Is there someone driving from Perth over to this meeting that can bring an 07 CR250 at all? Of course a reward for effort would be negotiable. 
It's in Cockburn. Not sure where that is but sounds painful.

Cheers!
