[QUOTE="MIKE, post: 26102, member: 16809"] If the kick starter is loose on the splines, (you may be able to get just the lower section but I didn't look in my parts manual). You could try this fix. Make sure there are enough splines left, about 50% or so. First try to come up with some shim washers that make the lever tight when the bolt is tight but not against the engine case, then remove the kick starter clean the male and female splines with parts/brake cleaner, lastly apply lock-tite (part retaining compound) don't get in on the threads, use thread retaining compound for the threads. Main drawback with this method is that you will have to heat the area with a torch to get it off the next time but it should save some money for now. MIKE 2000 KTM 300MXC eastern wash. [/QUOTE]
