xt 600 gear change pedal/lever
 

i want to change the standard steel gear change lever to an alloy one preferably with the fold up tip, i've done a search on here but can't find anything. :(

has anybody found an aftermarket or anything off another bike that will fit ?

cheers

over 50 views and still nobody has come up with an alternative to the crappy steel lever. :thumbdown:

Find a friend, whos got a friend, and let them weld one together for you. It's a pretty simple thing.

i can make one myself if needed, but i'd like to be able to use an aftermarket alternative if available.

I use an aftermarket YZ250 lever,not alloy but has a folding end like you want.

what year yz lever do you use have you got any pics of it fitted to your bike

cheers :cool4:

Pretty sure it's an 02 YZ250 one.It's a cheap Emgo branded one,not sure if you have those over there.As long as it has a 12mm hole for the shift shaft,it'll work.
I've added a pic of the spare one I have,as my bike is in being "fixed".

looks a lot more cranked than the original how far does it stick out when fitted is it much more than the oe one

Hmm thats a good point.
I have a 1VJ,so I'd imagine all electric start XTs have a wider case for the starter gear etc.
It has about 20-25mm clearance off the case from memory - Can't go measure as I don't have my bike here,but I'm sure thats about right.That one in the pic had been bent slightly inwards due to a few offs.

stator cover is about the same on the e models so that shouldn't be an issue.

just removed mine and put it on the floor it to do a comparison looks like the yz lever is bent more like an s and the xt is kinda straight but the offset looks pretty close so i'll risk getting one for my 600e and see what happens :rolleyes2:

thanks for the info yobbo :thumbup1:

Hi,

I don't know if this is of interest?
MotoWard Shop

Is the YZ250 gear-lever the right shape?

Geoff

I have a TTR 600 (kick start) that has a alloy folding lever I think its an oringal part,
not sure if the TTRE has an alloy lever as standered but the engine is much the same as a later XT600e.

thanks geoffe i already ordered one off fleebay the yz one looks like it is more curvy than the xt but the toe looks like it still ends up in the same position i'll post results when it arrives :rolleyes2:

bolla not sure on the ttr lever, i was hoping somebody had confirmed the ttr lever fitted the xt as that was the whole point of posting this thread.
that is also why i replied to my own thread to increase the views :cool4:

Very interesting! Don't forget to post back when you get the part from fleebay!!!!

That's one of the things I want get for my XT :P


Vando ;)

the yz lever arrived today unfortunately the offset is not enough to fit the 600E motor :thumbdown:
looks like its back to the drawing board :(
