Kick starter interchange

[wfopete]

My 81 GS250 needs a kickstarter.  What other bike/years (KTM or otherwise) kickstarters will work on this bike?

A yamaha PW50 has the same spline. You can modify one to fit. ie modify the fold out piece to work in reverse.

Amazing. So that's a PW50 motor in that Mint 400 you are flicking about in your video Adrian? Ha ha!:D

With some heat you can modify one to fit.
The other option is to use one of Al Beuhners reproduction 14mm kick starters for the early 175's. But some heat needs to be applied to modify the anlge of the lower section to get it to sit further out. Photo below - one on the left....
