RM 465 - Kick starter knuckle
« on: April 06, 2009, 08:43:17 pm »
Hi,
The knuckle that goes onto the spline on mine is soft from it being welded where the lever stops when you turn it 90deg to start it. The bike has so much comp you can feel it giving slightly when you kick the bike over.
Someone said I should heat it up and harden it by dropping it in oil....or if I can find a new knuckle that goes onto the spline in good condition that would be even better.
If anyone has one am happy to haggle on a price.
Cheers
