Mk 3? kickstart lever

hayabusaman0 · Apr 17, 2017

Hi All. I believe I have a mk3 kickstart lever fitted to my Hemmings 850 Norvil. When riding, the lever moves out to the "start" position & fouls me leg!
The chrome cap that holds it on has no flats so it's not a nut, could it be a "fast fit" type push on clip?
I didn't want to get brutal with it, yet!!!! :lol:
TIA

I think you have a pattern kickstart. The genuine Mk3 kickstarts have a dome nut, they also have a ball and spring to stop the arm swinging out as you describe.

Does it look as if there could be a roll pin holding the cap on?

Hi LAB. No, there is not a roll pin & there is a spring/ball to keep it in position.

There were some Italian pattern ones made some years ago and they had a round cap with no flats pressed on similar to a Ducati kick lever.

Evenin All. The kickstart problem has been solved! I wore a decent pair of glasses(silly ol b'stard as my son says)! :lol: Upon a closer look, there is a circlip under the chrome dished washer, removed that & hey presto all was revealed!
Thanks to everyone for their input.
