Description
When a rock, root, or another rider’s footpeg meets your shifter, the stock part on the Kawasaki KDX80/KX60/KX65 / Suzuki RM60/RM65 usually loses that fight. This ProTaper aluminum shifter is the fix riders reach for after that first bent lever. It is a cheap way to remove one of the more common causes of a DNF, especially for riders who push hard in technical terrain.
Feature and Benefit Highlights
- 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 KDX80/KX60/KX65 / Suzuki RM60/RM65, 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
- Lightweight compared to steel OEM levers, with no meaningful flex penalty in normal shifting
This ProTaper lever is cut and machined to the exact shift shaft pattern on the Kawasaki KDX80/KX60/KX65 / Suzuki RM60/RM65, so it goes on the same way the OEM part came off. It is a good call for anyone racing on the weekends, running a rental fleet, or simply tired of babying a bent stock shifter through the woods. Between motos, a quick visual check of the lever and the shift shaft spline is worth doing, and this one holds its shape well enough that the check rarely turns up anything.
