Description
Nothing kills momentum on a tight trail like a shift lever that will not fold back into position. This ProTaper unit for the Kawasaki KX450F solves that with a design that flexes on impact instead of snapping. 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 KX450F, 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
This ProTaper lever is cut and machined to the exact shift shaft pattern on the Kawasaki KX450F, 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. Pair it with a fresh set of footpegs or shift boot if the old ones took damage in the same crash that bent the original lever.
