Need advice for my 2011 Electra. Kick spring keeps breaking every 3 months or so. What do I do?

If this as a 2011 model, you need to post this in the Bullet with the UCE engine section of the forum (this section is for the 500 AVL export Electra-X and any other AVL model Bullets).

If your springs keep breaking at the same place, check there isn't something with a sharp edge pressing against them.

Use the electric start?
A trifecta of Pre-Unit Bullets: a Red Deluxe 500, a Green Standard 500, and a Black ES 350.

If this is an Indian home market 350 I'm not sure if it HAS an electric start. The original versions of the 350 Electra were kick-start only. The Electra-reference was taken from the electronic ignition. Maybe Gupreet can confirm or otherwise.
