Is there a way to fix this.
« on: November 20, 2016, 08:54:08 am »
Assembling this IT200, picked up the kick starter shaft and saw this, must have been stripped for awhile but as I never really rode the bike I can't say for sure.  Has a spline on both parts and is just a stopped to stop the lever when it comes back up to it's normal position. It is internal in the case halves so if it fails it is a full strip to fix it.

If the splines still hold I would be tempted to silver solder it.

Use a tig. Less heat spread. Don't be temped to weld all way around. And that only if the spline holds the stop plate.

Splines are gone, far too much heat to tig or braze it, thinking solder is the way to go, only if it fails it is a full case strip to fix.

Solder is too soft and not strong enough.You would need a lot of heat to solder it.    TIG.

those splines on the shaft look like they have copped a few kickbacks in its life and torn a lot of the splines, the best solution is replace it with a new part and save the head fork of having to do the job twice. have a look at where the stopper has been hitting on kick back mode, there could be some damage there as well

2 Options best and cheapest is to laser weld with a 312 stainless filler wire,next is to tig it with 312 stainless filler wire

Tig 360 degrees and relieve the case with a chamfer. That shaft wont fail from heat or a weld line crack.
If you love it, lube it.

Whilst Im first to get the TIG out , I go with silver solder on this repair. You need capillarity attraction to get in there.

Shaft is hollow and quite thin in that area. I have heard they had a habit of braking, so guessing any heat at all is going to weaken it. If it wasn't internal and a complete case split I would try it but for $116 for peace of mind it's worth it.
