Took the KLR out for some fire roads and a few trails and ended up riding about 250 miles today - some of it way back in the mountains between Virginia and West Virginia. Great Ride and came home feeling wonderful and ready to face another week of work. Pulled in the driveway and went to shift to neutral and the shift lever dropped off. Its broken at the weld. Bike has less than 3k on it! But just gotta grin and love the timeing! Who makes the best replacement and where can I get one FAST. Thanks! L.D. Graham A16 2 week KLR rider 30 year street rider

If you're not going to have the OEM one welded, I'll buy the pieces off you for postage + the cost of a beer. The shifter is OK, just the welding is crap. Devon

Impecable Timing..... Now take that shifter, put it in a vise and weld it back up, put it back on the bike and do 350 miles tomarrow. Dooden A15 Green Ape

These bike that keep breaking the shift levers must not say "MADE IN JAPAN" on the neck like mine... A15 OEM shift lever, only welds have been adding large washers to the backside and grinding them to fit and look like they belong there. Even got a spare (part of a larger ebay thing) that I added the washer too also, but it just rides along in the fannypack I keep on the tailrack with a metric adjustable wrench just in case. Dooden (Feel better knowing if I rip this one off I can just pick up the pieces and put the spare on, then weld the pieces back together. A15 Green Ape (Thinks ^^he types too much) A15 Green Ape

Mine broke too. At the same spot. I took it to the local muffler shop and they welded in five minutes for no charge. Dennis A18 the Big Red 1 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
