[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 171639, member: 2708"] I recut the spline on a Honda 750 Kickstart for use on the Rapide engine when I had it in the Glenli rolling chassis. I rode the bike that way for a year or so before assembling the 1360 motor. It worked fine for the 8 to 1 998 cc engine. When I fitted it to the 1360 and tried for the first start, the Kickstarter went down but the engine didn't turn over. The spline held but the Honda Kickstart lever bent like warm spaghetti. In fairness to Honda, the Kickstart was designed to roll 190cc pistons thru low compression, not 680cc 11 to ones. It's amazing that it worked OK on the 998. But then standard Vin twins are pretty easy to roll over with the compression release and heavy crank for momentum. Glen [/QUOTE]
