I am not familiar with that specific model, but as a general rule a kickstart shaft can be swapped by removing the side cover, and is not a major project requiring anything but basic hand tools.

I am not familuar with that engine, but other engines that I have worked on with kick starts usually only needed to pull apart the out side case the kick start shaft went through.

 

Man! That is music to my ears.

The shop wanted $450 labor + $40 part to do it.:shock:
That was too much for me to spend on this old bike. I payed $275 for it but now I'm thinking it wasn't as good a deal as I first thought. I ordered the shaft and a new oil seal AND a new kick lever. A previous owner welded the lever to the shaft. I think this contributed to the breakage, that and the lever not being at the right angle when completely kicked down. Instead of stopping at 6 o'clock position the lever stopped at about 7:30 which would put extra stress on the shaft. This is only my logical thinking. If I'm wrong about this please correct me.

Thanks for the "Welcome" and the help, really.

 

You'll need the cover gasket also.
