This kick starter shaft is suitable for Vespa Smallframe models with a 10-tooth kick starter pinion. If you change the pinion, you should replace the shaft at the same time - this prevents slipping during the starting process and ensures reliable operation.
✅ Suitable for kick starter pinion with 10 teeth ✅ Replacement recommended in case of wear or defect ✅ O-ring and spring available separately - order now
A new O-ring is required for installation. We also recommend replacing the kickstarter pinion at the same time. In many cases, it is also worth ordering the spring under the shaft to ensure perfect functioning.
Currently, the kickstarter shaft is only produced by one manufacturer - regardless of whether you buy the more expensive Piaggio version or the cheaper OEM part. They are identical products.
However, the design of this version is slightly different. In rare cases, the kickstarter pinion is not pushed back completely. This can cause the pinion to remain slightly engaged, which is noticeable by a clicking noise.
In this case, you can try to align the shaft with spacers. Alternatively, you can also weld on the starting ramp and adjust the angle.
A robust kickstarter shaft for smallframe models with a 10-tooth sprocket. With professional installation and suitable additional parts, it guarantees reliable function - despite minor adjustments to the current design.
