【KIJIMA】Starter Kick Rubber Review

I wanted to create a sense of unity.

[How is it used?
We purchased the LITTLE CUB in the process of acquiring a long-abandoned LITTLE CUB and performing maintenance&Restore.
When replacing the footpeg rubber, the same KIJIMA Brown was used. Let's unify Starter kick's Rubber with Brown as well." The replacement was made from an OEM product that had not aged at all, and it was a completely appearance-oriented custom.
Did you receive the item as per the Image?
The color of the Footpeg Rubber and the Footpeg Rubber is also consistent with the same manufacturer's product, and I am pleased to see that the lower body of the LITTLE CUB is now more consistent.
Was it difficult to install?
It is less difficult, but slightly more cumbersome.
Insert a thin slotted screwdriver between the rubber and the KICK, spray an appropriate amount of oil spray or parts cleaner for lubrication, and pull it out with some force.
When installing the product, please follow the reverse procedure for Large sturdiness. Spray Parts Cleaner inside the tubular product and hurry to insert it before it evaporates.
It may be easier to work in the summer than in the winter when the temperature drops and the rubber becomes hard. (In winter, I think it will be somewhat Smooth if you warm up the product with Dryer, etc. before working on it.) 。
How did you like it?
The product has the same shape as the OEM, so nothing has changed.
This product may not be necessary unless the original Rubber was severely deteriorated or you wanted to change the color like I did.
Was "Included Parts:" attached?
This is a Simple product that contains only one Starter Kick Rubber in the Package.
Were there any disappointments?
At this point, we are not sure if the durability is as good as OEM, but since KIJIMA is a long-established MotorcycleParts&Apparel sales manufacturer, we believe that the durability is at the same level as OEM products.
Other items that would be helpful
Point and hang of installation
Above. Was it difficult to install? column, so I will omit it.
For older vehicles, it may be more troublesome to remove the old rubber that is currently attached than to install it.
[Availability and clarity of the Instruction Manual
A simplified Instruction Manual is available at Quantity:1pc. enclosed, easy to understand product as you only need to install it in reverse order after removing the old Rubber.
[Notes]
Depending on the method, some of the work may be done by force, so please be careful to avoid injury.
[ITEMS TO BUY TOGETHER
If the footpeg, handlebar grip, and kick pedal rubber are the same color, it will give a good sense of unity, so please enjoy your personal sense of style, including using different colors for all parts.
[Opinions and requests to Manufacturer
Please continue to sell the current color line nap for as long as possible. View detail

Change of pace from OEM Black

I recently acquired a CUB90DELUXE, and as expected after more than 20 years, it is getting tired in various areas.

The OEMPedalRubber was first cut out with a Cutter, and then KIJIMA's KICKRubber was fitted with gusto while using air.
I also chose Brown as the one point of color instead of Black and enjoyed the change a little. View detail

Installed on KSR110

KSR110's NORMALRubber was cracked and chipped, so I considered replacing it.
I was fine with OEM, but I was looking for something else.
I was not sure if I could install it, but I bought it.

Because it was a little long, I cut it with Nipper about 5-10mm
I thought the inside diameter was a little tight, but I sprayed Parts cleaner on it.
Insert by force (Lol)

It's installed perfectly.
Rubber is also elastic, and I think it reduces the burden on the feet of Engine start!
The Red color is a little dirty, but I think it's good for a custom look. (Lol) View detail

It's a great way to add color.

I wanted to add some color to the bike, so I changed the rubber on the Kick pedal.
It's a small change, but it adds a nice touch of color.
Just replace it with OEMRubber.


good point
Easy to install. Easy to dress-up.

Rubber quality is not bad either. The rubber is not bad quality, and the non-slip surface is carved properly, so practicality is not a problem.

Affordable.

The color will fade as you use it, but on the contrary, it is austere.

A bad point
It's not hard to take out the OEM Rubber, but it takes some effort. It might be good to cut it with a cutter or insert some lubricant.


It's a good part, but it's also a longtime seller. View detail

Good thing I switched.

CUB90 was heavy on the KICK and it was hard to kick with the KICKRubber which was already slippery. It's a cheap improvement and has high cost performance. The color was just as good as it looked in the picture. View detail
