    Found a crack at the back of the kickstart in crank case

    Hi guys, I'm Jake.

    New to the forum, looks great what I have seen so far.

    I have a 2016 crf 250 and just after abit of advice.

    Had a small problem the weekend with kick back when starting my bike, the kick start then wouldn't return so thought it may have been the spring, on closer inspection I found a crack in the crank case at the back of the kick start, something broke inside and forced it back.

    Is this something that can be welded or am I best to buy a new one?

    If a new one is required where would be best to get one from?

    Not to sure how to upload a picture of the damage.

    Thanks in advance.

    Jake

    They can be repaired but I don't feel it's worth the effort required to do it properly and I actually have the equipment to weld it.
    I would buy a new one or possibly a nice used one.
