Description
Trail damage to the shift lever is one of those problems that seems minor until it strands you mid-ride on the Aluminum Shifter Yamaha 05-Up YZ125/250. ProTaper built this piece specifically to take that hit and keep working. This is the type of part that pit crews keep a spare of in the truck, because a bent shifter can end a moto just as fast as a flat tire.
Feature and Benefit Highlights
- Knurled grip surface on the tip keeps your boot from slipping off during muddy or wet conditions
- Precise O.E.M. fitment for the Aluminum Shifter Yamaha 05-Up YZ125/250, 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
- Machined tolerances keep the shift action feeling factory-tight rather than sloppy or loose
The bolt pattern and shaft engagement on this lever are matched to the Aluminum Shifter Yamaha 05-Up YZ125/250 specifically, so there is no filing or fitting required once it is out of the box. Riders running this bike hard at the track or just putting in trail miles will get the same benefit: a lever that survives what the stock one could not. It is a small enough purchase that most riders just add one to a parts order rather than waiting until the stock lever actually fails on them.
