Urgerntly needed 2002 KX500 kick starter
« on: September 11, 2013, 08:51:39 PM »
Hi Guys,

I urgently need a complete kick starter for my 2002 KX500, I have entered a 600mile race which starts on the 25th of Oct & my kick starter has broken, I ordered a new one from the local Kawasaki agents on the 28th of Sept, but their delivery date is only after the start date of the race.

I live in South Africa & I'm willing to pay for the fastest express shipping service, can anyone help please. Please message me the cost of the part & shipping to the following address:

Mr James Snuggs

Gauteng Province

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

I bet my dealer has one in stock, probably going to cost $120ish for the starter and not sure of the freight

I'm confused, you said you ordered it on the 28th of Sept, was that supposed to be Aug. and is the race in Oct or Sept? I know it says Oct but heck thats a month and a half away

OK, Fedex will get it there on the 18th or 19th, hold on! $125, USPS 6-10 business days $24, so if you truly have a month and a half should be no problem, however if it is Sept., different story.

.03 cents worth of my advice (inflation)..
Unless the dealer has the kick lever in their hands I would take any ship date with a grain of salt...
Also, SA has a pretty good record of shipment times but once in a while a package will get held up in Customs...
My advice, act sooner... Not later... And use one of the following:
Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG)** $158.20  expensive but guaranteed 1-3 days
Or
Priority Mail Express International™ $57.80 3-5 days, not guaranteed, but has a high degree of meeting delivery times.
You can get the cost a bit less if you print out the shipping label on line, but many dealers will add some for handling fees..
