Hi, if a KTM 125 kick start spring is spoilt?
1) Where can i get it repaired? How much will it cost?

2) What causes it to be spoilt besides wear and tear? What did the previous rider do to get this spoilt?

3)Can it still be rider with the spring spoilt? Will it coz damage or harm anything?

Please pardon my ignorance. I know nuts about bikes. have much to learn.

Thanks guys!

are u sure is the kick start really spolited maybe its becos of the bike ability to start is poor for eg like spark plug or even the spark plug head no gd or need to pull choke off petrol.if not i think is the ex rider wnenver he kick start the bike he hold the kick iron down even when the bike has started

Can u start the engine?

have exactly seen the bike yet... but according to owner, engine still can start. bike still can go on road.

Anyway, i had a friend telling me that KDX parts are more available. so i decided to spend 200 more to get the KDX. any comments?
