426 swap...what kicker?

[Derrick Adams]

I'm getting ready to do my YZ426 swap and i'm wondering what kicker to use.

I saw a YZ450F hybrid at the local indoors today that had a real nice looking kicker on it. Looked exactly like a 250R kicker only backward and made out of aluminum.

Anyhow, I need to know what to get so I can take care of it while i'm mocking it up, so there are no clearance issues.

Thanks for the help.

Mine had a 2002 YZ250 kicker on it. Worked great, cleared everything and was beefy enough to start that 13.5 to 1 high comp beast.

Modified 426 kicker..after the cam mod!!

What i did was use a 96 yz 250 kickstarter and to make it clear the frame i bought another knuckle from yamaha and welded a pipe in between the two knuckles to bring it out further. Cheap $30 mod that's a lot cheaper than the $200 one from east coast atv. You will either have to cut your rear fender so it will clear or else make a fliptop subframe.
