    Can someone help me identify this noise

    To Kick (only) or Not to Kick (only)

    If you have a decently tuned bike with a Pamco, kick only is great. It's basically not going to kick back on you unless you grossly mis-manage it. It's preferable to the electric start IMHO. My starter button fell out and I haven't had electric start in a couple of months. Only time I...

    Broken Post for Kick Start

    +1 I did mine like this it's not hard at all and is working fine now. I eyeballed mine but if I did it again I'd try to use a drill block of some sort as a guide for a better bolt hole. I used shop rags to catch the chips and that worked fine. Then vacuumed up with the old shop vac, hooked up...
