I lost the kick starter nut on my 2003 KDX 200. I have one on order but it hasn't come in yet and I'm doing a big ride tomorrow. Anyone know where I can land one of these in a pinch?
I went to Home Depot and Lowes with no luck. I can get a 12mm nut but the pitch is too coarse.
Does anyone know the actual dimensions of this nut?
It's the nut that holds the entire KS assembly to the shaft.
Thanks!

I noticed mine was missing on my way out to ride. I stopped off at a NAPA store and they let me take a few of their grade-8 nuts out to the bike and find the right one. Sorry, can't remember the specs. use loctite. it's been on for years now.

That's a really good short term solution- there's NO outward force on the k-starter, all you have to do is keep the splines engaged.2FAST wrote:This is really Jerry rigged but!!! in a worse case scenario you can get a small band clamp the kind that on like small rad hoses and tighten it up on there

If you use a threadlocking agent, make sure you keep it away from the splines!
