Busted the starter button today before I left for work:angry:Fell apart under the thumb, so its off to Kawasaki for a new assembly $72 later,and a day off the road,,,,
Also got wife to enquire about the optional Kick Starter and $$$ figure to set it up,,,,,
She was told to forget it, it aint viable & would cost half the price of a new bike :blink: WTFSo why is it an OPTION when they are purchased new I ask ????? WTF
Anyone got any input into this saga, or has anyone here actually had one fitted aftermarket??
I might enquire around & try to acquire the parts cheaper & put em in myself,,,:unsure:June 11, 2009 at 8:29 am #139087EAGLE`02 wrote:

If you fing a cheaper one let me know….June 11, 2009 at 8:33 am #139088Yeah, What a crock of S%&# I reckon,,,,,
I will be on the scrounge for a better deal
June 11, 2009 at 9:10 am #139096Eagle you need a starter button is that all? Why do you need a genuine Kawasaki one :huh: , go to the wreckers and get any starter button! No drama
Boony $350 I was quoted for a DRZ kick start kit last year for a mate
TB
June 11, 2009 at 9:18 am #139089Yeah, but missus already ordered genuine assembly this morning & paid for it to boot:huh:
Plus the stop button was playing up anyway, so I wasn`t using it which was a pain in the A%#
AT least the wiring loom will be correct and plug straight on;) No stuffing around

That $350 for the DRZ kiker kit is a good price TB, Is Boony dreaming that it will be the same as the KLX ???Sounds a bit strange to me,,,,,
Anyway Boony, there ya go $350 is a damn sight cheaper than your original $$$, even if ya have to add a bit to thatJune 12, 2009 at 8:03 am #139111EAGLE`02 wrote:

June 12, 2009 at 9:23 am #139091Got new assembly next day, fitted in 15 mins & ready to rock;) (Even starts & stops:P )
Now I just have to wait till monday to commute to work again in the 4-8 degrees range BBBRRRRRI Love It:laugh:
June 12, 2009 at 9:40 am #1392348 degrees warmer than up here this morning
June 12, 2009 at 9:46 am #139092:blink:
Don`t scare em off now Boonski , BOON SKI get it, get the skis out for the banana at Nundle:woohoo:
June 12, 2009 at 11:02 am #139244WTF :ohmy: a kickstarter is an option on a DIRTBIKE, when did this happen? if I had to one or the other, the right leg is the one I’ll choose (or left leg if it’s some euros or an old honda CR).

:laugh: Have you been hiding in a cave Blue ????
Sadly we have all been softened with the Electric Leg, and more & more bikes it seems have the good old Kicker as exactly that, an option:( Pity the option is so damn expensive on a few as well:angry:Funnily enough, I couldn`t wait to get rid of the old XR with the kicker for a push buton job,,,, Now I`d love to have the kicker back, (as an extra, anyway)

KLX400 and DRZ400 same bike different colour. -
