Has anyone found a good gear lever to replace the OE one that come loose on the shaft? I would imagine toura**** do one, but I don't think I'd get much for my kidneys.

The Touratat lever at �36 doesn't sound that bad really when you take into account Yamaha want a frankly ridiculous �17 just for the rubber on the OE lever!! (Which I lost somewhere, some how?)

I've not seen any other than Toura****. I think I'm going to end up buying one from them at some point, since my second OE lever is now getting a bit sloppy on the shaft.

I have one , but it doesn't fit my bike ..

I tried it in many ways, it always get stuck against the side stand ,
my side stand must have been bended somehow during offroad abuse , and now this stupid thing doesn't fit anymore , I will just buy another OEM one I think cause there is now way of bending the side stand again ..

it's strange since the side stand is quite a thick pieace of metal , especially on the part where the gear lever touches

Got a touratech one on my bike, bit shorter than oem one ,makes it much better for gear changing whilst youre standing, worth the �36.

That gear lever comes loose so often.

I cut the side stand switch bracket off(having by past the switch long ago)
This enables you to get 1st gear when the lever keeps wearing

The last time I took it off , I noticed that the actual shaft is now badly worn

My bike now has 46 000 km on

a common problem.
I modded mine a bit:

removed the original screw and replaced it with a longer one, before put a nut next to the head.
Then inserted the new screw and tightend the lever with the nut.
Never got loose again.

BTW: I'm using this one:

I did that twice and it still came loose.
