broken shifter

Post by Daniel W. Hirschbiel » Mon Aug 20, 2001 9:10 am

Howdy folks, This is my first post to the group so any help and/or patience is appreciated. I have a 97' 650 KLR and I thrash on it in some heavy woods cover that likes to eat my shifters. This is my third shifter in about a year and it's starting to annoy me to say the least. Does anyone know of an aftermarket shifter that would hold up better than the OEM part. Each of the shifters have broken right where the arm connects to the pinch block that slides onto the shifter shaft. Looks more like a broken weld than anything else. Thanks in advance..... Dan

The IMS shifter is the way to go. It bends instead of breaking. -Rick squidwannabe@... on 08/20/2001 10:13:15 AM To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com cc: Subject: [DSN_klr650] Re: Broken shifter Look at this IMS shifter compared to stock .. http://www.finishlinewest.com/ims_install.htm

If you get a more rigid shifter, all the force could be transmitted to the shifter transmission shaft. Is that what you really want? Vernon -----Original Message----- From: Daniel W.

IMS and Moose both make an aftermarket shifter for the KLR. They are both superior to the stock unit and of similar robust construction. They are slightly different in shape, though. One of them is a good fit out of the box, while the other needs to be ground down in one spot to clear the footpeg on some shifts. I forgot which is which, but I believe the IMS is the one with the better fit. Maybe someone else on the list knows off-hand. Steve "The Mule" A14

Hey guys. The shifter just broke off my '06 KLR. I was noticing it was feeling soft, especially on downshifting. Before I could get out of traffic and pull over, I could no longer upshift from 1st. I was able to put it into second gear with a pair of channel locks and made it to the office. Plan to drive it home this afternoon on the backroads before rush hour. It basically peeled of the hub of the shifter which remains on the tranny shaft. Do I have it welded and if so, what type of welding? Can a muffler shop do it or do I need a specialist. OR Do I get a new shifter? Thanks!

Thanks Eddie As far as I can tell, the splines on the shaft are fine. The hub of the shift lever is still clamped onto the shaft. The shift lever cracked and broke free from its hub. My guess is the lever was cracked from dropping the bike. Paul [b]From:[/b] "'Eddie' edgyver40@...

broken shifter

KLRs are well-known for that. Have it welded at some random garage. They should do it for $5 or less.

It basically peeled of the hub of the shifter which remains on the tranny shaft. Do I have it welded and if so, what type of welding? Can a muffler shop do it or do I need a specialist.

Common area for them to fail, right at the weld on the hub and arm. You should have an idea how well the stock lever fit you. There s longer, more offset or just stock. You can take the hub off and have someone weld it for a temporary fix while you order one. If you have vise grip pliers, you can clip that on the hub that s left to get you home. Tricky shifting, but it gets you there. Greg McKinney CKCS Cavalier Rescue USA http://www.cavalierrescueusa.com/> www.cavalierrescueusa.com tnspanielrescue@...

The hub of the shift lever is still clamped onto the shaft. The shift lever cracked and broke free from its hub. My guess is the lever was cracked from dropping the bike.

You could probably get away with a new shift lever tightened down well with a bit of Loctite on the bolt. If the shaft splines are worn off, tack welding the shifter in place would be a band-aid fix at best.
