[QUOTE="BadgerMan, post: 95220, member: 21176"] The contact point between the lever and the peg is far enough away (from the pivot/shaft union) so it won’t generate a lot of leverage relative to the shaft when it bottoms out. However, if it wedges in-board it seems it will inflict forces that will try to bend the kickstart shaft. Take the aluminum casting portion of your lever off the steel pivot and line it up to some other levers looking for a difference. Mine was warped so bad that it stuck in the down position the first few times I started the bike. If it is warped, tell your dealer you would like it replaced. If you don’t address the root cause of the problem you may eventually break another shaft. [/QUOTE]
