The rubber is just about gone on my gear shift lever. Thought about replacing it entirely rather than just the rubber. I searched through some old posts and wanted to know if there are any newer updates to a lever replacement other than what I have seen from a couple of years ago in those old posts.. I usually wear steel toe boots and little length at the knurl wouldn't hurt.
Any suggestions or recommendations?
Can see your problem here as most bikes now have remote linkages.
Having said that, the gear change shaft is a universal size, if you can find a bike, even at a breakers or on the net, one can near enough presume it will fit.
There are many companies selling after market levers which could suit you.
Possibly a couple of hours looking at picture on he net may bring a result.
Not much help I'm afraid but may point in the general direction.

I used to ride with a guy here in Colorado that had this on his 2005 Tiger. It looked great and I think was a bit longer.
It's a Yamaha part#.

if you decide on just the rubber, go here............cheap

Replaced mine with a Yamaha YZF shifter on my previous 05 Tiger, cheap on Ebay and work well.
Sounds like a YZ* arm is in my future and an inexpensive rubber just in case.... Thanks to all for the input.
Anything new in this department. It's time for rubber again.
Still got the YZ shifter on mine
I bought a Malcolm Smith racing shifter - spring loaded tip. Cost me $25. Looks nice. Can't remember part #.
Rather than start a new thread, does anyone know the gear lever spline size for a 2005 Tiger? (mine is stored 20 miles away so not easy to measure). I need a gear lever but there are no decent used ones, and a new one is £80+
I think it's 10mm but looking at this thread I'm now thinking it may be 11mm as apparently that's what the YZF is (that some have fitted successfully).
Bought a genuine bendy Wendy one secondhand for peanuts and having been on floor and wiped the gear lever off carry a spare YZ under the seat just checked its 11mm.
Thanks Chris, much appreciated. :icon_biggrin:
Talking of which I see a bendy Wendy has turned up on eBay 30 quid
