What Honda CR500 models is this kickstart compatible with?
This Apico Kick Start is designed as an exact replacement for Honda CR500 models manufactured from 1989 to 2001.
Is this kickstart made of metal?
Yes, the Apico Kick Start is made from durable materials suitable for performance off-road riding.
Does this kickstart come with the return spring?
This product is for the kickstart lever only. The return spring and other associated internal components are typically part of the motorcycle's engine and are not included with the kickstart lever itself.

Will this kickstart fit if my CR500 has aftermarket engine modifications?
While it's designed as an OEM replacement, significant aftermarket engine modifications might affect compatibility. It's recommended to verify fitment with your specific setup if your CR500 has been heavily modified.
Troubleshooting
Kickstart lever feels stiff or difficult to engage.
Ensure the kickstart mechanism pivot point is clean and properly lubricated. Check for any obstructions or damage around the mounting area. Verify that the lever is correctly seated and not binding.
Kickstart lever does not return to the 'home' position.
Inspect the return spring mechanism. There may be debris preventing its function, or the spring may be damaged or disconnected. Re-lubricate and ensure proper alignment of the spring and lever.
Kickstart lever slips or engages incompletely.
Check the engagement teeth on both the kickstart mechanism and the engine's internal gears. If worn or damaged, internal components may require replacement. Ensure the kickstart lever is securely fastened to its pivot.
