Tarozzi rearset problem

Post by MoriniMike »

So i have tha same problem most others have.
When kicking over the starter the pedal makes contact with the gearshift pedal.
I have the full tarozzi set with the extended kick start pawl.
what is possible to make the kickstart not hit the rear brake pedal.
pictures off other bike preferred .

thanks
Mike

Haven't got a photo handy, but I trimmed about half the length off the brake pedal toe bit.

This has two advantages; 1) the kick start no longer hits it, and 2) when I inevitably forget and go to change gear with the brake pedal, it feels different to the gearlever when my toe contacts the pedal.

I had the same problem when I replaced the broken Tarozzi brake pedal with a new replacement. It had me scratching my head for a while, as with the kickstart extender block there had previously been enough clearance.

I couldn't work out how I'd got the fixing wrong, and finally I realised that the rubber peg on the new lever is about 1cm longer than the old one. So I replaced the new peg with the old one and normal business is resumed.

Finally made it out to the shed.

There are kickstart extensions and there are kickstart extensions, though, so it'd be worth measuring before cutting.

I have got over the problem with a lever that lifts up out of harms way rather than having a short brake pedal.
I can't claim that it's my idea, because it's not, I got it from an old ATG (I think) it's been on there some years now and works a treat.

A while ago someone (sorry can't recall who) described their use of a small folding footrest from an off road(?) bike so that the footpeg AND lever both flipped up to vertical

If you can get a k2 kicker the problem is gone :wink: They are made of steel, so you can heat them up and bend them as you like.
The one up-right is a bended K2 kicker
