Got a couple of motors in my shed that have had this "fail proof" shite done to them. Makes you wonder how they can even afford a bike in the first place if they have to resort to work like that  ::)

I can understand the frustration but the spline on the kickstarter and probably the shaft are probably stuffed anyway.  It also means you can get the bike cheaper.

All that time wasted looking for the right size spanner or socket when you can simplify the entire process. Angle grinder to remove and stick welder to install, One size fits all..... simples

Well I hate to say this But Yes I have done this once.

I was at a rockley Vinduro around 2003 and the Gear leaver started of louse and would not tighten up
and end up striping the splines .Now with the gear leaver and the gear splines Stuff .
To fix was to split the Motor ..

I had to make a choice of  riding the Bike  or  sit back and just drinking beer all weekend  .

well I wanted to do Both so I got the property owner to weld it on ..I road all day and Then started  drinking  Beer ..

and still to day its is welded  on.

now going to ride that bike at Harrow soon..

It amazes and depresses me to see what people have done to late model bikes I've bought.

With vintage machines, there have usually been many more owners, some of them obviously "mechanically challenged". (I was going to write "mouth breathing morons", but I'm trying to be more understanding.)

All part of the challenge.

Anyone got a suggestion for a stripped Suzuki fork leg, where the axle screws in?

Get a longer axle and put a nut on the end of it?

Helicoil the fork Leg?

Both good suggestions. I'm not sure if I can get a helicoil that size, certainly bigger than my well used set. I'll determine the thread size/gauge and investigate.

I hadn't thought of the longer axle/nut solution.

I was thinking of welding it in. :)
