Splitting Cases

(1/2) > >>

Hi all.

I have an FT500 that I would like to convert to kick start using XL500 parts.  Can I split the cases without removing the top end?

Thank you all for any advice you may give me.

Joe, You need to pick up a Honda service manual. http://ascot500.com/index.php?topic=449.0

I believe that the cylinder & head need to be removed to split the cases. A kick-starter conversion has been done before, but the right side foot peg is in the way of the kicker.

I rencently splitted the cases, as they are splitted horisontally, no need to touch the cylinderparts.

Accually, its quite simple, when you have the bottom end on your Workbench, youll se that you only need a kickarm and one sprocket. And a spring ect but what im trying to say is that it is a quite easy operation, i was Close to do that, i do have the parts needed, but my starter is i perfekt working condition :)

You should only have to remove the clutch cover, i don't think you have to split the case's to add a kickshaft .... never had to with any other machine. I could be wrong ....

Chronic:
You do need to split the case, the axel+gear is placed center back. You can not get into the case without splitting it.
