Shift/brake levers and rear sets?
Wondering who has good suggestions for these parts for a 07 KLX250s?
My shop was looking around for some heavy duty steal shift levers and was a tough hunt, they ordered one..Forget the name ($80!!!) And I hope it fits..lol
But wondering what everyone suggestions for strong aftermarket shift levers, rear brake levers, and footpegs? The key word is "tough" I'm novice off road, and I already bent my current shift lever so badly it's almost none functional..lol
But I somehow got it working
So What is everyone running?
Also, what about front brake/clutch levers?

Shift lever from Honda XR650L from Malcolm Smith Racing...steel, cheap, bendable. Remember that you want some flexibility in your shifter or you can end up with a bent/broken shifter shaft.
That and I've fallen into soft dirt and lifted the bike up to another bend..lol Stuff bends nicely, but I can't afford every little spill to be tweaking my levers

So any shifter for the Honda XR650L will work? Is there a year range I should look at?
I don't remember how far back, but quite a few years from current on back. While the MSR unit is bendable, it's not cream cheese bendable. It's a good, popular choice for the KLX. It's a hair longer too, and most riders find it a better boot/shoe fit than the short OEM unit.

I have taken it one step further on many of my bikes by actually drilling out the lever to intentionally weaken it and reduce the risk of a broken shifter shaft. I then carry a spare shifter in my tool kit.
A broken shaft is something you won't ride home from and it'll involve tearing into the gearbox case to repair.
