[QUOTE="fuzzy, post: 596898, member: 33432"] Who cares? If the kicker hits the peg it's probably saving knuckle-joint. This seems to be typical from what I've seen. A buddies 220 is 'bent back' about 45 deg! Have to start it 'euro style' :P Anyway as long as you're not snapping the kicker in half I thing welding is probably going to be the best solution. The problem is that the knucle/kicker are made out of some pretty crappy steel. Over (little) time this crappy steel wears at the mating point. I'm going to grind the mating faces off of his kicker AND knuckle with refill with some some HARD rod, then grind back to factory size. Refacing these surfaces w/ good steel should be a permanent fix....Will report back. As mentioned before I've never seen another bike with this problem due to the fact that others use decent steel for the kicker/knuckle, or HARD aluminum. Kawi seems to like to make theirs out of recycled cans of Spam left by our soldiers. BTW, I've not seen this problem occur on 89-94's...They must have used some decent steel. Now the ratchet internals on the other hand..... [/QUOTE]
