Gear lever - how to fit and where from? - SV650.org

15-05-13, 10:34 PM

Hi,

Well ive had a right nightmare tonight, offered to pick my friend up from work(a very good looking girl) well as i got there i kicked the side stand out and thinking that it was fully open i have leant the bike over only to find out that it wasnt and BANG! down she goes! As you can tell she just let out a huge laugh

So yeah a few scratches, a damaged ego and the most important part.... i snapped the toe part of my shift lever!

Where could i get a replacement one of these from?

How easy are they to fit?

Cheers
Mason

Suzuki dealers sell Suzuki parts.

Doh! Sorry... in this case, Suzuki dealer might be a good option.

But I would email Wemoto anyway....they sometimes can get not listed parts.

If its just the actual toe bit and not a chunk of the actual lever missing, a good temp fix is to drill out the lever and whack an appropriate size bolt in with two nuts to lock in place. Can't remember the recommended bolt size but have a little search in here and it should come up!

No its literally just snapped the toe bit off... ive taped it back on for safe keeping on the commute to work this morning. Could i drill it and put a nut on bolt through it while leaving the lever on the bike or does it have to be removed?

That's good then, that would be entirely up to you and how good a drill you have and how good you are with it! If you think you can do it in situ without hacking it up go for it, if there is any doubt I would say take it off first

Is it quite an easy job to remove the whole assembly them?

Would this be the correct part? As if it is will try bodge it up for a week or 2 and order this?
