91 kdx 250 kick start

Post by Dukone »

Ok simple question and tried finding specifics on search without much luck I keep finding roundabout stuff. I have a 91 kdx 250 that I got without a kick start lever. I am not sure if the ratchet is good and calling parts shop and they can't even get the lever and could not find a interchange so what all fits for kick start levers and maybe if I have to change other parts for it what interchanges so I can buy something that will work and not waste money on something that wont. Thanks most search stuff I find is for either not a kdx 250 or kdx 250 newer then 95 which is different part number. I just like to be able to start bike without push start

Welcome to kdxrider.

https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/kawas ... -mechanism

The lever assembly is for 1991 - 1994 KDX250.

If you are in the USA, there was no KDX250 after 1994.

Yes, you will have to shop for a used one on eBay or hope to find a new one somewhere. Your local dealer might not have one, but a dealer can use some Kawasaki system to try to find another dealer who has one.

I was mainly posting the picture to show the diagram.

Have you looked on eBay? there are two kickstarters on there. :hmm:

yes i seen them and thats a possibility i dont know why they took the lever off though so i wonder if the rachet mechanism is bad if so why take a chance i was wondering if i could convert it to something else that is more readly avaliable i seen a conversion for these but was not sure if it works on a pre95 kdm 250 since the thread was converting a 95 and newer i believe also if i can convert it then aftermarket levers are like 40 bucks new verse 65 on ebay for a used one. i really dont know what they specificly changed from pre94 to 95 and up

There is NO KDX250 after 1994 in the USA. There was only the KDX200 or KDX220R.

I'd rather have an OEM used one than a new Chinese one.

If the shaft is fine, just buy a used kickstarter and be done with it. If the shaft is messed up, then buy one of those, too. Dirk bikes are a money pit. If you bought it without a kick starter, then you probably didn't spend much on it start with. There was a reason you got it that cheap.
