My 02 YZ250 kickshaft broke last night. It cracked the right side engine case too. I have had the bike since new and take excellent care of it. Back in March of this year the shaft broke also. I took the shaft to dealer to show them what happened to the part. The shaft tore arart like a candy cane. The actual metal cylinder/shaft for the kick starter that goes through the case broke...twice.
Yamaha won't help. I don't mind buying parts if I break something or it wears out, but this is ridiculous. Have any of you guys heard of this happening?? First timejust the kick shaft assy $140. This time the assy $140 and case $180 shipping $25.
I was just talking about gettng a new bike since mine is getting up there is age and hours. Oh well. I still love the bike.
