    I checked the manual but it does not mention one either.
    Somebody must have nicked it. I've heard rumour that those kickers for an 85 550 are rare so it's not surprising.

      My '79 GS550 is exactly the same. Extremely easy to kickstart and typically will start first or second kick .. I'm just grateful!!!
