nicbrrghs Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi does anyone know of an alternative kickstart for ty175. Mine is broken and I found a post on here about rd350lc kickstarts fitting, I could do with more info please on the year of the rd's. Any help or suggestions welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subanator Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Sadly no, the original is your best alternative. I tried the RZ350 one (very similar to the RD one), and basically was too straight and fouled with the exhaust and your leg, as it was most annoying . But the design of the clamping arrangement had more strength in it, but fouled on the crankcase where the pinch bolt is positioned. I heat shaped the one I had and tried to copy the shape of the TY one, but ended up with a poor cousin, and was eventually shorter and hit the footpeg. Gave it the flick to the back of the shed! I ended up buying a brand new kickstart assembly of Yamaha Part No: 525-15620-01 Please correct me if I am wrong that the RD one is different to the RZ one.

feetupfun Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 That kickstart on eBay appears to be the wrong shape to work well on a TY175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
