Ya i saw the exact same one on rocky mountain the other day!

Nope, not a direct shifter, just a generic picture that tusk uses for all their shifters regardless of model. If you order it what you will get is an aluminum copy of the stock one but with the folding end, which is just stupid to have on a quad. It still uses the ball and cup linkage, actually I think it requires that you re-use the old link. In the listing it says it's built to OEM specs and that is correct. If you want a real direct shifter you'll still need to order the one for the yz.

also i made my own for my 2000 warrior out of the stock one i broke , i made it with a big enough offset so that it would clear the recoil starter i put on it too

...ohh just so u know .. it will not work it you use a recoil starter ... it doesnt clear it

yeoldetymewarrior8 · Jan 6, 2010

you can modify a banshee shifter to work, i believe there is a thread on here to use it, it will also clear the oil cooler setup if you are using that

2000warrior350 · Jan 7, 2010

opps........the kx250 shifterDOES NOT WORK!!!! it hits the plastic cover .... it may work if u bend it a bit ... but i WILL NOT WORK as is ...i know i said it did b4 but , thta was a but premature , i installed it and it will not clear the plastic side case cover

skivt · Jan 22, 2010

Thank you for updating the thread. I am trying to do something direct on my 87 and need to work around the recoil box. With no welding experience I am not sure what to do.

Tusk shifter is direct!

I just purchased one on ebay. It was only $23, so I thought I get one for "Bling". I'll post again after I install and try it out. So, Once I made the purchase the seller email mail me saying, "that I have to remove the stock shifter and linkage. And install the shifter directly to the shift spline". So this would make it a "Direct" shifter. I been reading more about it ,and there are few complaints about the folding part to become a hassle after several uses (example would fold up while riding and you have to play with it to keep it still. Hope this is not true. I read many replys "it makes shifting smoother", so cross my fingers.....that what I'm kinda getting it for, not saying that I suck at shifting, I just want to upgrade the ugly stock and have a shifter with quicker response, if thats possible.

i took an old rm250 shifter and heated it up then put it in my vice and pulled/bent it to it and now its perfect!

MS_Warrior · Aug 26, 2012

There is no this year to this year for the yz250 shifter is there? I wanna grab one and I have been reading but when I'm on eBay some look like they have more "bend" then others.

88WarriorBoy · Aug 26, 2012
