ProTaper – ProTaper Shift Levers - KTM / Husqvarna / GasGas, including forged aluminum shifters for KTM 65SX, KTM 125-500 four-strokes, and Husqvarna TC and FC models, is where Austrian and Swedish-built race bikes get a foot control that survives the season. Every aluminum shifter here is cut for a specific spline pattern, so the lever clamps square to the shaft instead of rocking under load, and the folding tip snaps back after a rock strike rather than bending flat against the case. Riders on the 09-23 KTM 65SX and 17-23 Husqvarna TC65 get a youth-length arm that keeps the tip inside the frame line, while the 16-23 Husqvarna/KTM 125-500 fitments and 01-15 KTM / 14-16 Husqvarna FC and TC applications use full-size geometry with a serrated tip for grip through mud and sand. A bent or sloppy shifter is one of the quietest ways to lose a moto, because missed upshifts on a jump face cost drive exactly when you need it. Replacing a tired factory lever with a precision ProTaper unit restores crisp, repeatable gear changes, tightens up the feel at the boot, and removes the guesswork from shifting when your legs are pumped late in a race.
