Gear change lever

#1 Post by Falconihlist » Sun Aug 05, 2012 2:57 pm

Does anyone know what size bearing goes into the gear change foot lever? Got quite a bit of slop in there, so want to get it swapped out. Cheers troops.

If you mean where the lever pivots on the foot peg support, it's just a plain bearing.
They often need cleaning up and re greasing .... but if you've got slop in there, that's a different kettle of trout.

yeah, a bit more than slop in there. Probably got 3-5mm lateral movement in it. Going to get some washers in there temporarily until the idiots at the lottery get round to actually drawing my numbers (useless barstewards) and I can get a set off Griff.

Either that, or get the Mille lever on and start doing unexpected up shifts! :smt017
