No, some S1 and S2 have an 'outie' stop on the side casing and a different shaped pedal.
All S3 should be interchangeable but some are longer than others.

Innocenti made the top part thicker by about 2mm at the point where they kept fracturing when they introduced the GP. The extra thickness required the ally boss in the side case to be machined down by the same 2mm amount. Many S2 and 3's will have had this mod done already as the GP shaft was all that was available, in which case a GP shaft will be fine but best measure the one you already have before ordering a new one

Seems one of you is talking about the pedal and one about the shaft, to be fair its not 100% clear which Kenny is talking about.

Internally the GP differs from the other S3's. It has a built in ramp on the endplate and doesn't have the adjustment. Externally all S3 kickstart pedals are interchangeable, for all intents and purposes. But the S2 kickstart is shorter and designed to fit wider footboards.

Reading the OP again, I think you are right, Kenny is talking about the lever

And the short straight Lince one, but thought the likelihood of turning one of those up was quite small...

Hi All,
I just read this post again, it is the kick start lever I was taking about. Sorry if I did not make myself clear.

The kickstart levers are different on the series 1 and early series 2.The kickstart spline on these machines dont have a break in the middle and the later series 2 and the series 3 kickstart lever bolt wont fit.
