FYI Shifter
Quote:
Part# 1602-0015. I bought it from Thumper Talk Store for $30. It shows: YZ250F (06-08) YZ 450 (06-08) WR250F (03-08) WR450F (03-08) You have to remove the top footpeg mount bolt and loosen the lower to allow the peg to swing out of the way. Then it is just a matter of setting to fit your style and preference. It is a steel shifter w/folding tip. The hope is the shifter will bend before the shaft breaks. I will carry the stock as a spare on longer rides. Bert

When you hit "new reply" or "quote" within a thread, and the screen comes up for you to type in your message... -scroll down a bit till you see the "add attachments" button... Hit that "add attachment" button. A screen should pop up to "Browse" to where ever your jpegs are on your computer. Pick one of your jpegs. (one at a time this way). Hit the "Upload" button and allow it some time. Once done uploading the picture "Close" that small sceen. Hit "submit" reply as with any message... Your text and pic should appear...

Shifter
Here are two posts on shifters that work on the X Challenge:
[quote=Bert Fox]I didn't know where to put this. I just installed a Moose shifter. Part# 1602-0015. I bought it from Thumper Talk Store for $30. It shows: YZ250F (06-08) And.... I confirmed this weekend: A 99-06 MSR YZ250 shift lever will fit perfectly (PN 34-2148),  So, on the YZ250 shifter, is it the earlier, later or both versions that fit? Or are they the same part? |

The 1999 through 2006 YZ250 (MSR#2148) shifter will bolt right on and the bends are almost identical.
Please be aware that it's aluminum. It looks super tough...So I'm not use about it being a better replacement for the BMW stock shifter. But I have run theses MSR shifters for a number of years, and have bent them and then bent them back into position....but there's still the uncertainty of how the X650 shift shaft will hold up... We'll see..

I managed to whack a log with my shifter, folded it completely in half & broke when I pulled it off the footpeg to get it to move at all. Replaced with a $23 steel cheapy for a WR...which came with a bolt made of plasticine...new bolt & its all on fine.
I'll get the part no when I get home. |
