Troubleshooting

Kick start lever feels loose after installation

Re-tighten the Allen key bolt securing the kick start arm to the base. Ensure the lever is fully seated on the spline before tightening.

Difficulty engaging the engine to start

Check that the kick start lever is correctly aligned with the engine's spline and that the securing bolt is tight. Ensure no obstructions are preventing full movement.

Anodized finish appears faded or scratched

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning. Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap is recommended. Minor cosmetic scratches may occur with normal use.
