Any ideas on how to refurb the kickstart on 1981 250LC as I have bought the kit but have never removed the ball bearing.I would guess you prize out the bearing then pean the new one in?

it actually worked? I ask as it's often the arm knuckle that wiggles due to a worn out hole as well as a wear groove from the wee ball. A fresh clip/spring and ballbearing can't rectify that wear.

I did use a second thinner washer to help take up any slack and is now better than it was.

I had to stretch the spring & put a thin plastic washer that I made onto mine to stop the bloody thing rattling and drivin me mad ;D and I tried a new refurb kit from Norbo, as bare said, the refurb kit can't repair the groove worn in the kickstart itself  |
