Gear lever for 650 K6 pointy - common to other Suzi models? - SV650.org

Craig380 · 08-07-16, 07:20 PM

Quick question - stopped to help a fellow biker by the roadside, and my SV fell off its sidestand, breaking the gear lever. So much for good karma

Is the lever from the K6 pointy common to other Suzi models too? Was gonna do a quick ring-round of breakers in the morning. Any pointers / guidance greatly appreciated.

i think the busa 99-07 fits

BTW if its just the toe peg that has snapped off and the lever is straight then use http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTORCYCLE...c9Bbpl1mzImoFg

you just need to file the 'stub', drill, CS the lever and then use threadlock when putting the new peg on. its what i done and its been fine for 10k.

dont be tempted to use the knurled ones as they rip your boots.

Thanks Bibio, if I don't turn anything up at the breakers I'll give those a go. Hoping to be mobile again tomorrow if I can ...

By the way, crash bungs are well worth it (especially when they came with the bike). Apart from the gear lever, the only other damage was a cracked indicator lens mounting lug (fixed with superglue) and a scuff on the mirror. Would have been MUCH more painful in the wallet otherwise.

HTH.

no thats for a curvy due to the cranked lever. pointy lever is straight.

Thanks Blapper - that's another option. It's irritating that the lever snapped right where the toe peg joins the body of the lever, so a foldable toe peg is probably a good idea.

Serves me right for not double-checking the stand was fully 'locked out,' which I normally do ...

if you keep the bike in gear when you park up it stops the bike rolling back/fourth so if the side stand is a bit dodgy it wont go anywhere. use the same method in high winds if your bike is parked up outside.
