FAQs

What models does this Apico Kick Start fit?

This kick start is designed for the Yamaha YZ250 models (2002-2023) and Yamaha YZ250X models (2016-2023).

Is this a direct replacement for the original kick start?

Yes, the Apico Kick Start is engineered to be an exact replacement for OEM parts, ensuring a straightforward installation.

What material is the kick start made from?

It is manufactured from forged 7075 Aero-grade aluminum, known for its strength and light weight.

Does it come with the necessary mounting hardware?

The kick start is secured by an Allen key bolt to an S45C steel base. Ensure you have the correct size Allen key for installation.

How do I clean and maintain the kick start?

After off-road use, clean it with a soft cloth and mild cleaning agents. Regularly check the tightness of the retaining bolt.

Will this kick start add a different color to my bike?

Can this kick start be used for racing?

Absolutely. Its durable construction and performance-oriented design make it suitable for the demands of motocross, enduro, and trials riding.

Troubleshooting

Kick start feels loose or wobbly

Verify that the Allen key bolt securing the kick start to the spline is tightened to the correct torque specification. Ensure the S45C steel base is properly seated on the engine spline.

Kick start does not engage or return properly

Check for obstructions around the kick start mechanism. Ensure the kick start arm is correctly aligned with the engine spline and that no internal engine components are impeding its movement.

Difficulty installing the kick start

Confirm you have the correct model for your Yamaha YZ250 or YZ250X. Ensure the engine spline is clean and free of debris. Use gentle, even pressure when fitting the kick start onto the spline.
