When did I break the kick shaft on my YZ250?
2006 yz295 original owner, broke the original kick shaft 3rd ride after 295 break-ink, April 2010. April 2011 broke the 2nd kick shaft MAX!!! It’s strange that some people break multiple shafts and some of us have multiple bikes with no issues at all. I have a 2002 and a 2010 with zero issues.
How can I Fix my Yamaha YZ250 kick start?
If you had a steel rod down the center theres no way it should break if you drill the spring hole just deep enoufgh. Just another way to fix this. Ive ran my oe shaft on my 300 110 olney and it kicks harder then my old yz426f did. Some times no matter how hard I kick if I dont start in the right spot the kicker will hit compression and stop dead.
What kind of shaft does a Yamaha YZ250 use?
The shaft itself is listed as a standalone part from Yamaha for 1998 and earlier bikes. 1999-2001 parts guides list the entire assembly only, as do 2002 and newer. The side cover supports the outer end of the shaft, so a 1999-2001 side cover and oil seal must be used with a 1989-2001 shaft.
