I have a 150 CC GY6 Xingyue that I'm working on and am looking to delete the kick start system.....should I just pull the lever off or should I pull the cover on that side and strip all that stuff out then plug the cover?
The kick start is slowly falling down while the scoot is running and then it's all the way down and dragging on left turns.....plus this thing will never kick start anyways....it hasn't a day in it's life lol.
Thanks for all the help in advance.....cuz I know I'm gonna need it LOL

Advice : i would just replace the parts it needs to be fixed for example spring. because many times electrical will fail and you can start your moped with kickstart. Flat battery in that case you will be walking along with the scooter on your hands.

It's never been able to be kick started, and the owner is too old and has bad knees....but....if I should keep it where's the best resource for parts for that system? I have other problems but I'll make a new post for them as to not derail this topic  |

I agree, the kickstarts are junk and rough on the knees. Go to page 31 in the Arrow manual for a detailed procedure to remove the mechanism. The gear on the crankshaft (#1) must remain since it is a spacer for the variator.
The rest of it is history on my bikes. I have never bothered to plug the hole, I just figured it's another air vent.

Awesome pic....So remove the cover and the variator, make sure that the one gear stays on the crank for a spacer and the rest of the kick start crap will pretty much just slide out of there?
SWEET.....I'm worried that this guy will ride his scoot and lean good n hard into a left turn and this lever kickin' the back side of the scooter up unexpectedly and possibly throwing him off.
While you're riding the lever slowly comes down to the fully "Kicked" position....so we feel that since that thing has never even coughed when using the kick start that just take it out.
