never have after 4 years... stock shaft and kicker.
it happened to both of my friends.1 with a stock shaft and the other with the better easy kick shaft. high compression kits need a strong kick to start them so how long do you think the shaft will hold up for??
i broke the kickstart shft on my 110 1 day after building my 172 plus r lucily you dont have to split cases to replace the shaft on a klx

build it bigger
slapaho16 - wow!! 172cc nice ,monster build.

ok you know what im talking about!!

all the motors were built right, and for you guys that are running china youll never know anything about high compression and this thread is not for you.
Didn't see any china motors on this thread.Is that what you broke yours on?
You shouldnt break a damn kickstarter.



You have serious engine issues if you do.

really?

my china motor is pushin 13:1 and 16hp
Bent the spliney bit of a takegawa kicstarter on a lifan 150. forgot to put the bolt in after changing the exhaust.:oops:
i didnt break anything.

13:1 - 16hp, how much cc? and is your motor hard to kick over?
its a 154cc's

theres a certain way that i have to start it that i learned from feel i guess, so no not anymore. but when it was new i would just kick it and yeah i went thru quite a few shafts haha, but it was cool b/c i would give it back to rcm and they would fix it for me haha
Been there done that. My 138 CRF build, snapped her.
i have been through 3 sets of kicker gears on my japanese klx 190cc.
I broke some kicker gears on the old honda 4 spds.
