how to tighten shifter arm?

[dillon14dj]

im not sure what its called but the shifter arm thing thats on the left side? is there a way to tighten it mine is pretty loose

 

[mrjim0214]

You still got the linkage bullshit??? get a yz250 shifter!!! i just got done ****** with mine, they suck

 

[dillon14dj]

not really sure what you mean by that.. but its the stock gear shifter

 

[BornWithNoBrains]

the stock one has a buch of arms connecting to the shifter the yz250 go stright to the shifter so its not loose

 

[DeadLastRacing]

Yeah, ditch the stock setup and run a direct shifter. Buy one for a YZ250 and its a direct bolt on to the actual shift shaft.

this is what it will look like after (without all the linkage)

Almost the best mod for these bikes. I told my friend we should put one on his. He said he's be riding it for sooo long the stocker doesn't bother him. Then he hops on my bike to load it on the trailer and goes ,"DUDE! That shifter is THE ****! I want one!" Lol. Some people just don't listen.

yaa.. mine looks nothing like that. it does down to something then theres like a bolt and then it goes over the the foot peg then its the shifter. it used to be tight when i got the bike if i remember right but now its loose and im not sure if its due to that or not but it makes it a lil hard to shift it into neutral when the engine is on (i mostly have to turn it off in 1st gear then shift to neutral in order to push it in my shed)

but anyways how much is this shifter??

I just did mine with a honda 300 trx 4wd shifter perfect fit a little bending,works awsome! no more sloppy shifter, have seen the yzf250 shifters on ebay for around twenty bucks .

is this the one i should get? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gear-Shifte...es&hash=item2ebfbfe6de&vxp=mtr#ht_2792wt_1037 for me this is $35


Or this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shift-Lever...es&hash=item20b16e31f7&vxp=mtr#ht_1267wt_1037 but its for an older bike but its only $18.85

 

[88WarriorBoy]

I think they will both work I know that the newer one will work for sure but not sure on the older one.

 

[dragonbug2004]

I put it on directly out of the package. No bending, just tighten the bolt and go!!!!

the one I bought is identical to that one.. bolts right on and the only angle you can put it at is perfect. the other one fits a little nicer(from pics iv seen) as it 100% clears the cover there at any angle. only reason you would need that is if you like your shifter quite high.

The one I have sits a tiny bit above stock

 

[dillon14dj]

so i should go with the $18 one?

Get this one dillon.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GEAR-SHIFT-...Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e60612679&vxp=mtr
It's cheaper, and easier to modify if needed. :tup:

 

[dillon14dj]

thats the same (well has the same pic) as the $18 one lol im also on getting underglow for it now too (just seen a kit on ebay for like $52

Lmao.. Thats just something that could get ripped off the bike when your cruise'n..
I'd save the money for something else? Like some new bars, or a cool look'n seat cover, or some cool graphics ect".. :iagree:

 

[dillon14dj]

was looking at nerf bars also http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-YAMAHA-...es&hash=item2ebeff48dd&vxp=mtr#ht_2899wt_1270 but they cost more. and i was only thinking of the underglow due to i have a huge family together/party next month out in the county and it gets pretty dark there so if i took the bike out at night it would stand out more

 

[DeadLastRacing]

I had underglow on my quad. I do a lot of night riding. Its cool. $20 at autozone lasted me a while. Eventually one lense cracked and shorted out so I tore it all off.

go with #2 the cheap one the more expensive one wont fit
