FAQs
What material is the Apico Kick Start made from?
The kick start lever is manufactured from forged 7075 Aero-grade aluminum, and the base is made from S45C steel.
Is this kick start a direct replacement for the stock part?
Yes, it is designed as an exact replacement for the OEM kick start on the specified Suzuki RMZ450 models.
What does 'anodised' mean for the finish?
Anodising is a process that creates a durable, corrosion-resistant decorative finish. In this case, it provides the gold color and protects the aluminum.
What tools are needed for installation?
An Allen key is required to secure the kick start lever to its base. Consult your service manual for other required tools.
Can this kick start fit other motorcycle brands?
While Apico makes kick starts for a wide range of bikes, this specific model (KSYJ007GD) is designed for the Suzuki RMZ450 2008-24. Always check compatibility for other models.
How should I clean the kick start?
Use a soft cloth and mild degreaser. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the anodised finish.
Troubleshooting
Kick start lever feels loose
Check and tighten the Allen key bolt that secures the kick start lever to the S45C steel base. Ensure the base is correctly seated on the engine spline.
Difficulty engaging kick start
Verify that the kick start mechanism is clean and free from debris. Ensure the S45C steel base is properly aligned with the engine spline.
Anodised finish appears faded or scratched
This is a cosmetic issue resulting from normal wear and tear. Clean with a soft cloth. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
