Kickstarter return spring
Kickstarter return spring for the gearbox outer cover/selector mechanism area, also known by its older T24A number.
This is the kickstarter return spring, part number 57-0024A, listed under the older T24A designation in earlier parts books. It shows up in the gearbox outer cover and gearbox selector mechanism figures, which places it in the gearbox area where the kickstart shaft and its linkage live.

A return spring like this does one job: it pulls the kickstart lever back up to its resting position after you've swung it down to start the engine. Without it working properly, the lever stays down or doesn't return with any authority, which makes for a sloppy or unreliable kickstart action.
Our catalog record ties this part to gearbox outer cover and selector mechanism work across a run of catalog years, but we don't have anything more specific on which exact models it was fitted to beyond that. If you're working on a gearbox rebuild or the kickstart mechanism feels weak or won't spring back, this is worth checking, but confirm fitment against your parts book before ordering.
