Just doing the winter overhaul thing at present,one of the things I've got round to doing is checking the kickstart. Basically the kickstart pin is worn hence why it wont sit in the usual position so I've got to change that,anyway the one below on the left is the ramp I fitted a few years ago -no markings



The one below is one I had knocking around in the shed & marked Innocenti



Is it just a design thing or is one better/more preferred than the other? or is it the case of just fit the one which is possibly less worn? Sorry for what may seem a silly question,just curious

The one below is an ealry one.
Top one is probably Spanish or Indian,it is based on the late Innocenti design.

There are some small differences between the ramps,fit the one that will allow you to set the kickstart mechanism better and don't worry much about it

The early ones can open up so presumably the later Spanish one was designed to stop that?

Thank you chaps, Wack what you say makes a lot of sense,think I'll stick with the later style
