Once again I must leech knowledge from the brains of some experienced bikers. (sorry :P)
Are gear levers interchangable? The gear lever snapped off of my Honda NSR 125R, am i able to replace it with any gear lever? or any honda gear lever? or do i require a specific one for my bike’s model?
I do appologise for adding a thread to the forums that will interest no one, quite desperate to find out if i can just go to a local bike shop and pick up what i need.
While i’m posting i may as well tell you all how I managed to snap the gear lever off- After much hassle with my CBT I joined the wonderful world of biking, my first trip was to my girlfriend’s house (about 30 minutes each way), on the way back the bike broke down 3 times and on the third wouldn’t start again. Luckily i was close enough to home that I could push the bike. Bike wasn’t running for about a month (procrastination eh?). After FINALLY getting my bike running again (thanks to Mark from M-Tech) I was happily enjoying my freedom for about a week before once again heading to my girlfriend’s house. This time while going around a corner RIGHT next to her house at about 10mph the back wheel slid forward until the bike was travelling sideways, at which point i was thrown off and my indicator and gear lever was snapped off. Still don’t know what caused it. There was no noise from the slide, no skidmark afterwards and i really was going very slowly. popular theory is spilled diesel or something.
so yeah… my luck hasn’t been that great for my first few months of riding (or not riding…)
