Description
Ask any mechanic what breaks first on a well-ridden Kawasaki KX and the shift lever is near the top of the list. This ProTaper replacement was designed around that exact failure point. It is the kind of upgrade that does not show up on a spec sheet but matters every single time you shift gears under load, on a jump face, or coming off a berm.
Feature and Benefit Highlights
- Forged from 6061 aluminum for a lever that resists bending under crash loads and repeated impacts
- Folding shift tip pivots out of the way on impact instead of snapping off at the base
- Knurled grip surface on the tip keeps your boot from slipping off during muddy or wet conditions
- Precise O.E.M. fitment for the Kawasaki KX, matching the stock shift shaft spline and mounting geometry
- Finished to resist corrosion so the lever holds up through wash-downs and wet-weather rides
Because this is a direct-fit part for the Kawasaki KX, install time is measured in minutes with a wrench, not an afternoon in the garage. It works just as well as a first replacement after a crash as it does as a proactive swap before the stock lever gives out. IPD Racing keeps these in stock specifically because shift levers are a high-turnover part, and nobody wants to wait on a backordered lever before a race weekend.
