Gear lever on the K3. How's it mounted?

Need a new gear lever for my SV650S K3. Phoned up a breaker to get one and he asked if it is the type that pivots on footrest bolt or on a seperate pivot.

I thought they were all the same (pivot on footrest) but don't have bike to check. Are there really two types of K3 gear levers?

If someone could check theirs I'd appreciate it!

The K3 (and I believe K4, not sure though) pivots on the footrest bolt.

Later bikes (k5 onwards) mount on a seperate pivot point on the hanger.

A bolt that is seldom torqued up/threadlocked properly during PDI and likes to undo itself.

Which makes for an interesting experience

All K5 onwards (and maybe K4 if the gear lever is NOT off the footpeg) should check this regularly.

K3 lever pivots around the footpeg, but like the K4's plus the bolt can work loose.
