Default Gear Lever K4 0r K3 ?

Hi,

newbie, I know so forgive me.

I have what says on paperwork a K4. However I am having great difficulty getting the correct gear lever (shifter). Mine has the number 23 stamped on it. I have already got 2 other gear levers but no joy. One has 24 and is close but not right. The other I reckon is from a K4 after much web searching.Can anyone shed any light, does anyone have the same on their bike?
Any help, greatly apreciated.
Thanks.

Welcome to the madhouse.

There's 2 types of shifter, the K3 used a similar one to the older shape SV's afaik

Maybe post a picture of the footrest area?

Hi,
Thanks for the replies.
Has to be 2004 K3.
Please see picture of mine (bottom) and a replacemnt I got.
There is a plastic insert (brownish in colour) on the gear lever.

Double checked and it does in fact say K3. The one I bought must be for a K4 has #17 on it.

Looks like you have a K3 footrest then. AFAIK they were around the footrest like the curvy. I think the K4's went to a smaller mounting bolt which was below and forward of the footrest.

This would be supported by the fact that your second gear lever is shorter and smaller in bore.
