Also saw mention of a KX250F shift shaft lever swap out... first time I've heard of that

Please keep us posted.
Please keep me posted how it fits! Fitment wise our bikes are the same.John_S wrote: ↑10:48 pm Nov 28 2022 I found a 250F kicker last night for $29 and ordered it. We’ll see if it works with an H series frame and rev pipe. I had the short kicker for a while and didn’t really like how you kick straight onto the peg with your foot. I have an OEM kickstart thats basically brand new and already starting to tweak backwards a little. My shorty used the 89 125 lever and stock boss so that one is also slanted back. It’s not like I kick the bike real hard or anything. Hoping the 250F fits and is stronger in general.
That's how my kicker looks right now. Sucks when your boot is wet or muddy as it likes to slide off.Tyl3r wrote: ↑11:29 pm Nov 28 2022 Happy to share, I've learned a ton on this site over the years! I forgot I also had a little spacer ring behind the knuckle to space it out a little bit. I have an OEM nut on order, hope it comes soon.
Here's how the different shifters fit, if anyone is interested, keep in mind though, it is with an 05 KX125 frame:
Stock - fits good, but wears out fast, pivot is open at the top for gunk to get into:
On hybrids, it has to do with how your conversion was done. How much engine was tilted forward, how pipe was modified, what pipe was used, etc.MoonStomper wrote: ↑09:50 am Nov 30 2022 Alright so I guess I’m just weird, or a total KDX nerd, but every KDX pic I see (for sale or whatever) the first thing I look at is to see if they’ve done Nick’s KX125 kicker mod (using the KX250 knuckle).
If they still have the OEM kicker on there I start questioning the rest of the bike. Honestly, of all the many labor and research intensive things I’ve done to mine including the clutch actuator mod, the Belgian valves in my OEM forks, and even the Fredette airbox/Radvalve/Desert pipe, cylinder porting power mods, this was the best money I’ve spent.
Curious why it seems not to fit certain bikes though.
