Our F5K is designed to fit on bikes fitted with our DD5 or Factory 5-Speed bikes.  We know bolt on kicker kits are nothing new.  Over the years many have come and gone for one common reason: they all relied on a ratchet hub or shaft extension that screwed on to the end of the mainshaft in place of the 3/4-16 nyloc jam nut.  They all eventually broke for the same reason.  The end of the mainshaft snapped off!

The new F5K kicker kits use a ratchet hub that presses onto the shank of the mainshaft, then the O.D. of the ratchet hub presses into the over-sized trap door bearing.  The ratchet hub is effectively located and secured from moving by the over-sized door bearing.

Kicker Gears

All BAKER F5K’s come with their own version of the  Klassic Kicker Gears standard. These gears start out of 1018 HR Steel, precision machined and heat treated to 50-55 RC; these gears are tough for long life and tons of kicks.

F5K Mainshaft Retainer Cross Section

Mainshaft Retainer
We developed our whole kicker kit around our mainshaft retainer.  Aftermarket kits use a retainer that is part of the ratchet gear that gets threaded on to the mainshaft.  With every kick of your bike this retainer continuously gets tighter on the threads of the mainshaft.  This eventually causes failure and the end of the mainshaft breaks off.  This can be seen in the image to the right.  Our kit uses you a larger diameter mainshaft bearing to house our ratchet gear.  This ratchet gear becomes the support for the mainshaft.   The mainshaft is retained by a nut, just like the factory so no extra stress is put on to the shaft.  Making it the most reliable kit out there.

Recommended Fluid / Level
Picking the right transmission fluid ensures the life and durability of your transmission, that’s why BAKER recommends a fully synthetic GL-5 rated gear weight oil of 75W-140. If a GL-5 rated gear lube is not available, these commonly carried viscosities (weights) will work 75W-90, 75W-140 and 85W-140. BAKER does not recommend the use of Syn3 (20W-50).
