What material is the kick start made from?

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

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.
