markieboi Report post Posted March 22, 2011 Hi, Have a Rev 3 2001, the kick start is loose and just flops around. Is there a spring missing? As I removed the kick start lever using the smaller bolt and there seemed to no mechanics to keep the lever in place when not in operation. I'm new to beta coming from sherco, so any advice is appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adam1 Report post Posted March 24, 2011 Hi mate just seen this post, the rev 3 is a great bike IMO but the kick starts do flop around a little mine does and it's a 07, but once it's back in position up against the frame it shouldn't fall back down but it may rattle around a little Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betabonkers Report post Posted March 24, 2011 there should be a little ball bearing in there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markieboi Report post Posted March 25, 2011 Ah right thanks, mine doesn't just rattle around it actually flops out as if your going to kick it over. Does the BB just float free inside the kick start then? ie, to give the kick start some resistance and stop the freedom of movement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ioan_vapi Report post Posted April 14, 2011 the ball bearing is held in by a spring and a grub screw jsp Something similar happened to me and I found a loosen screw on top of the kickstart case under the middle exhaust pipe. I have fixed it screwing it in back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
