KTM sx50 Kickstart slipping & Kickstart spring failure (diagnosis, repair, tips) & more

[@rhouser1280]

24:30 Yea I repeated that process quite a few times, had a smoke break & a beer, then repeated again… Great video man, appreciate it!

24:54 for anyone struggling to keep the kick start shaft and spring in place - Soon as you get it in the right spot, drop the clutch in, it will stop it from popping back out. the other gears can be dropped in on that side too, then you just put the cover on over the top - easy. Its also a good time to swap out the kick start shaft and water pump shaft seals while you're in there - only an extra ~$10 :)

This is a great video brother. Thanks. All the symptoms that my bike is having including water mixed with the oil

[@kurtiscormier9306]

Great video! I am so sick of smashing shin. Now can you solve my problem of it being a pain in the ass to start if it sits for more than 2 days? lol

Thanks for this vid👍 how can you stop this bike from having clutch drag it’s driving me crazy. If you or someone else would know please please help. Thanks 😊

[@jjacks85]

triple grip clutch. the stock one is really bad

[@jenningsbradley70]

IRP clutch is best drag elimator otherwise set up a new set of frictions with a little more stack to pressure plate air gap via other brand frictions. I used irp Carbon fiber frictions. Also oil viscosity try a few different maybe redline lightweight shock proof at only 200cc

Did you do the mod on the stop gear or just buy a new 1. And the primary gear do you have a part number I can't find it on Rocky Mountain site I looked up kick starter I looked up clutch and I looked up crank and I can't find it

[@jenningsbradley70]

Primary I believe is either in transmission parts category page or crankshaft catalog. See my response to other comment I believe I listed p/n and provided link

[@jenningsbradley70]

The mod is to the primary gear, the Kickstart gear is usually ok but i think i cleaned it up as well. Your just looking for two clean square edges. The cleaner and more square edge you provide the better

[@250race]

@@jenningsbradley70 About both gears plus the kickstarter shaft in the problem one way

Anyone know if this kick start strip can get bad enough to prevent compression from building? Got a 2015 project sx with a shot cylinder and head. Replaced cylinder and piston and head with new OEM. Can’t get above about 90psi. Disassembled and reassembled a couple times because you can with the correct kick pattern get what feels like a decent kick but I’ve noticed as that pressure builds up while kicking it becomes extremely difficult to get an engaged kick(stripping increases). Would love to act on more than a hunch on this as I’m not super experienced and there is probably a world where I have something in the top end assy not right. Thanks!

I can't find the correct parts for my kids 2011 KTM 50 SX , any suggestions will be appreciated.

[@jenningsbradley70]

THESE should be the parts you need if experiencing a skipping Kickstart, or a broken spring. I used RMatv to quote it PRIMARY DRIVE 33TPart #131307007121Mfg. #45232023033 KICKSTARTER SPRINGPart #131307004116Mfg. #45233054000 RATCHET GEARPart #131307005795Mfg. #45233052116

Can I see the video on how to grind down the rounded edges?

[@jenningsbradley70]

At minute 35 I explain how I use a dremal cutoff wheel to carefully cut down the rounded edges
