	I have a 1970's version of the Yamaha Yz80, possibly a 1978. One of the previous owners had broken the kickstarter arm, leaving only one option for starting....bump starting. I was wondering if it would be worth my while to weld a new one on. The only thing is that there isn't much to weld to. Tell me what you think. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	I know you can buy new kick starter assembles we had to get one for are older kdx200 and it was under a 100 dollars. 03 yz250 has a few bolt ons!! Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Try like Royal Distrubuting or a place like that has mass parts and accessories they will probably carry it or be able to get it. I know recreation supply can get stuff for vintage. '03 YZ 250 Tag bar clamps, titanium 200 foot pegs, Rental American Addition bars, RG3 suspenion, Hotwheels graphics, Griper seat cover, and Carlsbad tires. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	So did the previous owner brake the shaft or the actual kick starter? And Royal doesn't have either, so I'd try Ebay. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	I think they probably reefed on it and it spun it off and stripped the shaft. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
