T20 KICKSTART PAWL
Kickstart pawl for the T20, the part that engages the kickstart quadrant to turn the engine over.
This is the kickstart pawl for the T20, part number 57-1281. The pawl is what grabs the kickstart quadrant when you push the lever down, so the engine turns over. It's a small piece but it does all the work of transferring your kick into motion, and it takes a beating every time you start the bike.

Our records on this one are thin beyond the basic catalog listing, so treat this as a starting point. If you're chasing a worn or chipped pawl that's making your kickstart slip or fail to catch, this is the part family to be looking at.
Give the shop a call to confirm this matches what's in your parts book before you order, especially if you're not sure whether your bike uses the same kickstart mechanism as the T20.
