Shifter for pre 94 K5's
« on: September 26, 2014, 09:54:05 AM »
As you all know the pre 94 K5's have the smaller shifter spline, and getting quality replacement shifters for a reasonable price can be challenging.   I found this out, becasue EVERYONE seems to sell the K5 shifters with the larger spline.   I discovered a nice little trick.    Order a shift lever for a 2001+ Yamaha YZ250F.   Fits perfetcly, good price

That is good to know.
And just in case some here might have missed it, you can replace the smaller splined shift shaft with a newer larger splined shift shaft and use a shift lever for a KX450F. I used one from Hammerhead that is 20mm longer then stock... I really like it..
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.
