Longer Kickstarter EC300

[stay_upright]

I can't start my bike 1st kick and certainly can't start 1st kick in gear when starting a HnH race. My KTM200 started 1st kick no problems so i'm thinking its the bigger capacity and smaller kickstarter. I've heard other kickstarters will fit the GG so what's the longest I can use?

Anyone else swap the stubby kickstarter for a longer one - was this a lot better?

The YZ 250 kicker that gofasters sells works much better than the stocker, its a good 2" longer.

That's the 2t one?

Like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1997-YAMAHA-YZ...1%7C240%3A1318

though the guy seems to be taking the pi$$ £50 for a 2nd hand 10 year old kick start (surely!)

Where was the one on the GF site?

I believe the ktm 200 kicker will work. My 06 had a kicker that looked like one when I bought it. It was ragged out so I went back to stock, but they are longer. swap em and give it a try.

Any new YZ250 kicker will work. They are about $150 brand new.

Some of the earlier year YZ250 kickstarters will NOT fit. I know from personal experience.

It has to be the newer design. I know the 2003 YZ250 kickstarter will work. I put one on my '01 XC300.

The '06 and newer stock GasGas 300 kickstarter is also longer.

Wow, you Canadians are getting hosed.

$74US from ronayers.com

Personally, I like the kicker on my '03. If it's available try Amsoil 0W-40.

Well thats what I paid for a 1981 IT465 one too. Wish we had cheaper prices. Personaly I like the short kicker.
