250-500cc HUSKY WR 250/300 Kickstart lever

My 2009 HUSKY WR 250 Kickstart lever is flogged out
it moves left to right and back and forwards by itself
looks like its going to break soon. i run a rekluse so i can't afford for it
to break in the middle of no where (because you can't push start it)

where from & how much is a new one? they are over $160 locally
anyone got the part number?
has anyone else had this happen to their kickstart lever?

Mine is the same way.I'm going to take it apart and try to fit some type of bushing to it.I've been planning to do this for about a year now.I don't think it will break but it could become stuck either folded in or out.

mine gets stuck in /out too. the lever isn't broken, but the knuckle assembly is worn and getting worse each ride.

Anth, if you pull the kicker off you'll find that either the ball bearing and spring are full of crud (looking at you vids out there at Anglesea) or the worn indicated by a groove inside the lever bolt housing (thats the lever getting stuck). Apply a liberal amount of WD and let it soak, apply anti seize lube over it and if you have a few ball bearings abou, find one that is slightly larger if not the same.
The side to side play indicates is a worn bushing where the pin goes through or the pin itself is worn.



Pretty hard to snap that lever but when they seize closed (due to that ball bearing & spring failing), it is a fín prick to pull out.

your a legend. thanks for that info. i'm going to pull mine apart. where did you get that drawing?
did it have prices for the parts?

your right about anglesea its always mud heaven there, but we love it

I went to straight to Halls Cycles and they have a great array of parts manuals for husky and great service too (respond quickly to an email just remember the time difference).
I wouldn't worry about replacing the lever, my 16yo Wr360 has a bit a play in it but no issues, just that spring and bearing. You can pull that knuckle off and weld a few tacks to bring back to original position and a worn pin...l've seen a patched up job on a TE using a case harden allen head cut down, regrooved and circlipped back on.

PS. Your husky's only a young pup

Thanks heaps

Seriously though that cafe husky and the helpfull members for all the help
This year.

This is an awesome website

I clean my kickstart lever every now and then, and when i put it together again i fill up the joint and also the boot with waterresistant wheel bearing grease. perfect.

thanks BILLF, i'll be in touch if my shims don't work out.

Hi can any one tell me what size the nut is to hold the kickstart, lost mine on the trail yesterday. Thanks

M10...get a nyloc as, you have found, they can vibrate loose

That's great thanks,luckily the lad behind saw my lever fall off so I only need the nut, thanks again
