Need help with shift lever.

[Koko]

That's a bummer. I wonder if I had the wrong shifter in the pacakge. The part number was right. But there was no way it was fitting. I ordered a TMV instead. Still waiting for it.

i ordered an 04 rmz shifter. will let you know how it fits/take pics..

How did it fit for you?

 

[stainlesscycle]

haven't put it on, repaired an old one, while i waited for it to arrive. . it looks like a good fit, and significantly sturdier. cheap too.

Glenn, any update on that KTM brake mod?

This is a part that really needs an upgrade. The steel tip quickly wears the alloy tab/pivot, and it gets sloppy. It can wear thin to the point of cracking. New tip does nothing. I've been fixing them with the HTS2000 aluminum brazing rod, building up the tabs and re fitting the tips, but its a PIA and time consuming. I have a Hammerhead on the '12 but they suck to R&R unless you make a special bolt. They wear too, but still better than stock if you can find one.

Best shifter is all steel, as any pivot on a dirt bike should be. I'll take a few oz down low on the bike to eliminate this hassle. My bro had a WR250 Husky with a steel OEM shifter and it sold with the bike years later in decent shape.

While I'm at it, the brake pedal clevis pivot hole will wear and elongate quickly as well(again, steel pin/alloy pedal). If you don't check this often your pedal hits the frame before enough force goes to the brakes from the added play. This needs a steel bushing at the minimum. I'm adding a heim joint like a KTM and a quick no tools adjuster setup, stay tuned.

My local dealer just sold me a TMZ. He said they have had good results with them. It fit well and matched the lenght of my stock 2011. I have not ridden with it yet.

Yeah they said they were going too...I just emailed Jason also...but I had talked on the phone with Dustin I think his name was. I'm suppose to be first on the list for one.

I hope no news was good news and I hear back some really good news.

They said to make a run it's 500 pieces they make at once. I might be interested in buying a bulk number to get me 1 unit and sell them myself....LOL I don't know lets play it by ear right now...I'll try and call tomorrow.
