Gear change lever.

The original Yamaha lever is at best loose on the output shaft splines even when tight. Is there an alternative from a WR or similar that anyone's used?

Ive not found one yet. Spent a bit of time with a pattern parts guy going through his stock to check.

Looks like you'll need a Touratech tart part then.....

I guess I'll be heading that way soon too, on my third lever and this ones wobbly now (although I'd rather replace a worn out lever than a new shaft)

on my old xtr I never had to replace the gear lever even with 46k mile on it. ok it was a bit wobbles at the end of its life. surprised they are coming loose so quick

Your lever on the ten has had a modification - internal threads drilled out and replacement nut and bolt fitted - you will not have any problems with it mate.

I did that with mine as well and it still wobbles. Going to break out the devcon.

My bike's currently off the road because the Touratart lever has worn enough to spin on the splines. Didn't last any longer the Yam ones. Looks nicer, but that's about all I can say about it.

Think my selector shaft's worn a bit as well - tried to refit one of the old ones that was merely wobbly when I took it off, and that now spins as well. Boo

Did mine when the bike (and splines) were very 'young' so that may have made a difference.

Thanks... means I don't have to buy one now

Back to the drawing board.

Why not try the old fix....
cut the slot wider so it pinchs up more/tighter on the shaft...
