2014 Kick Start Rubber

I've noticed the kickstart lever on my 2014 hits the foot peg if you push the lever down too far!!!

I went too far a couple of times and put some marks in the end of the lever so decided to make a kickstart lever rubber until I come up with something better.

I used a bit of red car heater hose. The internal diameter pushes pretty firm over the end of the lever and seems to stay on well when I kick it over.

It may get slippery in wet conditions but so far seems ok in the dry. I used a Dremel tool to create a few craters for grip and with a wet boot may still grip well enough for a start???? Time will tell but no more hitting ally to steel with the hose on.

Does everyone's hit a bit or is it just mine? I see its machined on the end so maybe they all do it and the machined relief at the end of the lever is a meagre attempt to stop it???
