KIPS lever shaft

Post by Sander34 »

Hello guy's,

I have a problem with my kdx200 Kips lever shaft. This is the little plate attached to the lever with a nut. Now my problem is that when you turn the plate the lever sometimes doesn't turn with it. But the nut is locked ( i can't even get it loose ). Now is this suppose the be like this or should it be locked? And if it have to be locked in what position? In 90° angle to the little plate in the bottom attached with allen bolts?

I would upload a video of the problem but I don't know how.
If you have questions about my problem just ask.

Thanks in advance.

You know that it is the opposite LH thread, right? Clockwise to loosen...

So, you have the governor shaft and the governor lever and a LH nut that goes on top of the shaft. You don't have it upside down, do you? I use a big adjustable crescent wrench to support the lever when I tighten the nut that holds it to the shaft....counter clockwise to tighten....use Loctite (blue).

I am not familiar with the E series, but I would assume there is a pin or some other type of system that would mechanically connect the rod and lever together. The LH nut just keeps them together.

I don't understand.

you got a lever ( cilinder ) on the bottem end off the cilinder you got the litte plate with the allen bolts and on the top of the lever you got thread. Over this thread sits a little plate and to hold it together there is this bolt ( LH ) but the plate on the top end moves in my case. even if the bolt is tightend. And i could lock it with a weld beam or something but then i need to know in what position the plate has to be.

Is there a way i can upload images or a video so i can make clear to you guy's what i mean?

kind regards

The LH nut shouldnt be the only thing that holds those two parts together. On the H series a pin mechanically holds them together AND positions the lever properly.

I am guessing something is broken or missing on yours. But pictures would be helpful.
