Can anybody tell me what bikes' shift levers will also fit the '09+ KLX250S and be approximately the same size/length? I pretzelized mine on a ride two weekends ago and want to replace it, but Kawi wants $50 for a stock one. I've managed to bend/twist/hammer it back into a usable shape, but I'd still like to replace it (and get a spare).

Not the answer your fishing for, but I keep using the stock bendomatics because the shift shaft is so small and wimpy. Would rather bend the shifter than the shaft. I made a template of the new stocker to facilitate getting them back in shape, and also use a homegrown brake snake on the shift lever.

 

I have a DRIVEN one on mine...

 

Hey Rob, not sure what fits out bikes, but one thing I am sure of, Lever guards are worth their weight in silver. Notice I didn't say worth their weight in gold because that would be kookie talk. LOL

Edited because I just realized you were talking about the foot lever not the hand levers. DOH!!!! I need more COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

eBay!!! I picked up an OEM brake pedal for $15, shipped. I'm sure the shift lever would be just as cheap.

I would rather trash the shift lever than the actual shaft coming out of the transmission.

 

I'm not looking for a stronger shifter, just a cheaper one. And this time I think I'll put one of those "saver" cables on it to maybe keep it from bending, at least as much.

xr650L fitment supposedly works, never tried myself.

 

650 gear will work, but the lenght is different. I got one when I was in Moab last year, bent the original one back in place and put it back on when I got home to the shop.

 

did you feel it was too long? size 10 boots here oem works for me.

the klx shifts with a long throw compared many other dirtbikes, so I avoided trying the longer lever
