Kickstarter Pinion gear Broken

On my 2016 4T I just gently kick it over.  I was used to kicking my OSSA, which requires a healthy kick- but the de-compressor on the 4T seems to be quite effective and I just push the start lever down fairly slowly.   Starts really well.

I have no idea how different the older bikes are.   Someone told me they used a lot of RFS design and maybe even some parts fit.  But I have never looked inside both so no clue if that is a possibility or not.

I would hope that gear is different than the newer ones, or I would certainly hope Beta at least had some of those in stock someplace!

since it has broken so many times, it certainly seems to be underdesinged!

 Funny this forum has been around since before the 4T came out in production. Correct me if I am wrong, but there has never been a thread about this problem. Our club has always had 4t`s. They have had issues over the years, but I do not ever remember this one. And yeah we have one too.
