Kickstart Conversion
 

Hi all, does anyone know if a kickstart shaft seal for a 99-03 xt600E will fit in the crankcase of my 3aj ? Having just bid for(and won) a kickstart mechanism from a 2kf i am going to convert to kicking her into life! also i read somewhere a kickstart from an xs750 fits? anyone got a spare kicker lying around? cheers T

Not sure if I understood your question, frankly, i'm sure i did NOT understand it :-)

You can use 2kf mechanism on 1VJ, no problems. What are you missing? XT600E 99-03 has no kick, and therefore no kickstart shaft seal..

I have a 1990 3aj (electric start only)& i am adding a kickstart to it, what i would like to know is if a kickstart oil seal from a 1999-03 xt600E will fit the rubber blank that is in a 3aj crankcase? I have bought a kickstart mechanism from a 2kf xt on ebay and all i need now is a kickstart lever.

on wemoto website it states xt600e kickshaft oil seal 99-03 !!

Hej,

your 2KF Kickstart will fit in the 3AJ. The seal you need to fit into your clutch cover you can use from any XT 600 model with kickstart - as the axles all have the same diameter. Same for the upper decompression.

Don't forget to mount the bracket to stopp the kicker.

I also heard a XS 750 kicker will do - but never seen one on a XT.

Good luck!

It's an error in wemoto website I suppose.

anyway you can take this same picture, and I believe also same object.

Yamaha XT 600 87-89 Kickstart Oil Seal

If you r curious about this, ask them if they r the same part.
BTW, the last XT600 engine version has the clutch on right side, and right carter cannot be replaced with previous version, and has no hole. As a consequence, add a kick on a 2000-> model is NOT possible, and has no sense to write "kickshaft seal for XT600E 99-03"

Thanks for your replies, what is the bracket to stop the kicker & where is it mounted? Should it be part of the mechanism or is it mounted outside the engine? In my clymer it mentions a lockwasher, guide plate & stopper plate, is this the bracket? I take it these parts won,t come with my kickstart shaft. Does the clutch need to be removed to install the shaft? thanks again: T

Hej,

lockwasher, guide plate & stopper plate - thats exactly what I meant - sorry but my english is far away from being perfect.
The parts are mounted inside, just near the kickstart-axle. The crankcase cover is already prepared to fix the parts (threads). But you will also need a sprocket between the kickstarter and the sprocket on the backside of the clutch (check attachm. in earlier posting). It will fit on the gearbox axle - no worries - your engine is prepared for that. You'll need to take the clutch off - and a new lockwasher later to fix it again.
If you follow any repair manual the job is not too difficult - but I would recommend to read first and than care about parts and tools (holder for the clutch to remove the nut - it works also to place a piece of an old sprocket between clutch and primary drive to lock it).

Good luck again!

Thanks Bubbla, your english is much better than my Swedish!! i have the idle gear sorted, just need to get a stopper plate etc. this site has been invaluable since getting my xt. thanks again guys

Hi,

I believe the kickstart oil seal is Yamaha part number 93102-20108-00, if that helps?
