FAQs

Is this kick start a direct replacement for the stock part?

Yes, the Apico Kick Start is designed as an exact replacement for OEM parts on compatible Yamaha models.

What material is the Apico Kick Start made from?

It is manufactured from forged 7075 Aero-grade aluminum for the kick arm and a S45C steel base.

What does 'anodized' mean for this product?

Anodizing is a process that creates a durable, corrosion-resistant, colored finish. For this kick start, it provides a black, factory team look and adds protection.

How do I know if this kick start will fit my bike if it's not a YZF250 or WRF250?

While designed for those specific Yamaha models, Apico kick starts are available for a wide range of off-road bikes. Check the product description and verify dimensions or consult with Apico for broader compatibility.

Does the kick start come with all necessary hardware for installation?

The product description mentions an Allen key bolt securing the kick start to the base, implying necessary fasteners are included for the kick arm attachment. However, verify with the retailer if any additional engine-side hardware is needed.

How should I clean and maintain the kick start?

Clean with mild degreaser and water. Periodically inspect for wear and ensure the securing bolt remains tight. Avoid harsh abrasives.

What is the benefit of the laser-etched Apico logo?

The laser-etched logo adds a subtle, authentic branding detail, contributing to the factory team aesthetic of the product.

Troubleshooting

Kick start does not engage the engine.

Check that the S45C steel base is correctly seated on the engine spline and that the Allen key bolt securing the kick arm is fully tightened.

The Allen key bolt may be loose. Tighten it to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification.
