Hey all, I have a 2007 ninja EX250 with a bent shift lever. The damage is not internal but only a minor bend in the actual lever. Where would be a place that I could buy this part online? What would be the correct technical term for it? How difficult is this to install? I can post a picture of it if need be.
It really is no big deal, but I want eveything perfect!
Thanks guys,
Kevin

 

My suggestion would be ebay, you don't mean the clutch lever right?

 

the clutch lever on the handle bar would probably be hard to bend.

im sure he means the actual gear change lever which can easily be bent if the bike goes down on its side.

happened to me when a buddy laid my bike down at 5 mph

1st, there arent any on ebay
2nd, the name for the part is the "gear change mechanism"

the part that is bent will end up costing you about 35 dollars if you go through the dealership to get it.

take it off and bend it back thats what I did.

 

And if all else fails, hit it with a hammer!

 

Just make sure it's not installed on the bike when you do. That will straighten it right out.

 

Thanks m8s! You all are surely a help to me!
Hehe

 

Hey m8, you had replied to my post about me needing a gear changing mechanism. when i go to bike bandit, i see that but all i see are screws n stuff under the diagram, i am not seeing the actual peice. any way you could tell me the model number of the item on the site so i can order it?
thanks so much m8

 

13242A is the part number for the actual shift lever.

that is all you need to buy to replace a bent one.
