850 kick start on a 750 - discuss...

Someone may correct me but i hadn't thought there was any difference between 750 and 850 levers except that the Mk III lever is a different shape and gives more clearance to the muffler, it may be a little longer?

RGM are now doing a folding (Triumph type) lever which is appreciably longer.

Point size is too small - at my end!

Anyway - carry on....

My '72 Roadster takes a good swing to fire up - I seem to recall that someone told me that fitting a 850 kickstart (longer) helps this issue - is this true, any comments please?

If so - what's the correct part number I should request vs the 750 part number?

I had the same issue with my 1968 750. It ended up with an expensive repair as the splines on the kick start shaft became damaged and it needed replacing with the kickstart. The cure for me was a Pazon ignitionand electronic voltage regulator. Now I have second or third kick starting. Expensive solution yes, but my leg does not suffer anymore.
