Well, I think I have been lucky. First time, it snapped back. Second time, the lever slid the 90 without stripping the threads. I have some tools with the bike, and repositioned the lever back so I could ride home. 15K miles and still good. But, if I keep the bike (good chance of getting a new gen 2, or a 3), I will get a folding one. Not a good feeling when it happens, and the repair cost could be significant.It doesn't need to fold. "If" you have a get-off that tries to bend the shift lever, like HeliMark says, the rod going from the shift lever to the shift shaft will bend to the point that the shift lever will "cam over" and point straight up. The rod bends but will spring back to a degree, and the shift lever can be pushed back down into position without disabling anything.
I know this is an old thread, but I've worn a couple of the rubber rings off my toe peg and can't bring myself to buy a whole new lever.The woodcraft folding toe peg is $25. It looks new 4 years old and been dropped a bunch of times
The toe rubber is deffo available separately but I don’t know what the part number is thoughI know this is an old thread, but I've worn a couple of the rubber rings off my toe peg and can't bring myself to buy a whole new lever.
True, I’ve changed a few times. Don’t know the number either. It’s used on many Yamaha’s.The toe rubber is deffo available separately but I don’t know what the part number is though
