125-200cc 2013 125 kick starter installed wrong from the factory

I saw the other post about the dislike of the 125 kick starter. I have size 12 ft and wasn't crazy about it either every time I rode it I said it looks like I can rotate the kicker forward one notch ... well I went to do it today and it was off one tooth. It has more throw and is super easy to start now. Hope this helps others.

I kind of failed using my cell phone to post this sorry the pictures are sideways and there is a few doubles lol this is what it looks like now in the right spot

Thanks for the info. Mine is still at the shop until I pay it off next month but will definitely look into this. I see five marks on the shaft---did you make the fifth mark as reference?

The 4 evenly spaced lines must be left from when they make them but the dot on the shaft and the one on the kick starter are factory marks that need to be lined up and were not

Thanks for posting this. Added this characteristic to my new bike inspection checklist.
