Just kidding it is kick start, but the kick starter pedal thing as he called it is stripped out and needs replaced, it is still good on the bike just the pedal.
The classic broken bolt and stripped kickstarter splines problem....This comes from improper knowledge when people buy superbikes....
When you buy a bike brand new and you uncrate it....The first thing you have to do is tear the bike down and lube-up the cables,,shim and adjust the brakes,,remove the shifter pedal,,brake pedal and kickstarter....change the oil,,air the tires,,lube the chain and swingarm pivot bearings/bushings
All this stuff needs to be loctited and retorqued correctly......especially the kickstarter,,shifter and brakepedal...
Everyone thinks you just grab a wrench and just wrench hard......Wrong...think a lil..the bike costs how much brand new versus a NSR...duh...Cheesy hardware should instantly come to mind and that hardware must be replaced with the real deal 8 and 8.8mm hardware
Then even after that you still dont wrench down hard.....
loctite the new real 8.8mm bolt
heat the kickstarter boss with a plumbers torch to make it a couple hundred degrees...slip it monto the kickstarter shaft,,,add bolt and tighten....when the kicker cools itll get tighter around the splines so chances of ever stripping one again being unlikely.............same goes for the shifter,,,,...........The heat makes the metal conform so well and the loctite keeps it nice n tight........
