K/S SPRING 500 TWIN
Kickstart return spring for the 500 twin gearbox, the spring that snaps the kickstart lever back up after use.
This is the kickstart return spring for the 500 twin gearbox, listed in the parts book under the GEARBOX SHAFTS, BEARINGS AND INNER COVER figure. It's the spring that snaps the kickstart lever back up to its resting position after you've given the engine a kick over. In older parts books this one shows up under the legacy number T1441, which is the same physical part as 57-1441.

If your kickstart lever feels lazy, doesn't return all the way, or hangs down after starting, a tired or broken return spring is a common culprit. It's a small part tucked inside the inner cover area of the gearbox, so getting to it means opening things up a bit.
We show this one appearing once in the catalog tied to the 500 twin family. If you're not sure whether your gearbox uses this spring versus a different kickstart return spring (pre-unit and unit 650 versions are different parts), give us a call with your engine and frame numbers before you order.
