It's only a matter of time before it breaks worse than it already is. Mine broke @20hrs and I replaced it with a new Yamaha kick starter assembly.

#18 is the part you need. It's a direct bolt on and is a much, much better piece than the oem starter.

Kickstart

Contact your local dealer, that will be under warranty from Spain. We have in stock, just tell your dealer about the issue.

Ours did the same thing with 25 hours on the bike. We also replaced it with a YZ kicker.

new kickstart

New kickstart vendor for 2012 that is better, stronger, and will be cheaper. Delivery end of February and should work way back to 1996

Hopefully a new footpeg vendor too. The '11 footpeg is about as durable as peanut brittle.
