Kickstart quadrant and spindle
The toothed quadrant and shaft that the kickstart lever pivots on to engage the kickstart gear and turn the engine over.
The kickstart quadrant and spindle is the toothed segment and shaft that the kickstart lever pivots on inside the gearbox cover. When you swing the kickstart lever down, this quadrant rotates on its spindle and its teeth engage the kickstart gear to spin the engine over for starting.

This part lives with the gearchange and kickstart crank assembly in the gearbox cover area. The catalog record we have on this one is limited to a single appearance, so we can't speak to broader fitment beyond what's shown.
If you're rebuilding a gearbox cover assembly and the teeth on your existing quadrant are worn or chipped, or the spindle is scored where it rides in the cover, that's generally why this gets replaced. Bring your old part or your parts book reference when you order so we can confirm it matches your setup.
