Hello, I am a new owner of a Navigator and am looking for a replacement kickstart, any one know of a source for replacements, it seems these are as rare as hens teeth. The one I have, the splines are shot, but might form the basis of a repair if the splines can be recut, but then again any know who can do that.

Thanks

Andrew

Thanks Dan, keeping an eye out. It would be interesting to know if any other KS used the same spline - it would seem surprising if that was unique.

I'll keep looking, I don't think I have a spare. But you are right there may well be an other amc bike out there that has the same splines, if you have a spare shaft, take it to an auto jumble and see what you can find?

Thanks Dan, next one up for me is Ross on Wye so will do that. Begining to see the special attractions of classic motorcycling. Must have been very tough pre internet days.
