Cheers for the replies guys, agree with you there Ed.
Anyone know where i can a get a new gear lever from ?

[missyburd]

If it's just the inch of lever that's snapped off then stick a bolt in it, does just as good a job and cheaper :-P

[joshwalker094]

Its not snapped, its just bent inwards :/

Robinsons Foundry for the gear leaver, Suzuki OEM part as well.

I did the same thing years ago so now when I put her on the stand I kick it a couple of times to make sure it's locked...cos of her lovely fairings

They say experience at any price comes cheap...
