Kx500 gear change mechanism

fredunderwood:
I'm looking for a light weight aluminum after market gear shift lever for my 1990 kx500.   There are plenty available on-line, the only problem is, the lever I get, the spline is too large.

I did some checking, and the part number changed in 1994

My part num from 1990 was 13156-1240; this changed in 1994 and all years forward to 13156-1347

So my question is, where the heck can I get a lever after market that will reliably fit?   Undoubtedly, owners with later models have had this problem, no?  The shift spline on older models is smaller.

sandblaster:
87-93 shift shaft and lever are the same. (Small spline)
94-04 shift shaft and lever are the same. (Large spline)
There are no new after market levers that I am aware of for the smaller spline but you can always replace the shift shaft in your engine with a newer shaft.
Then you have available a number of shift levers.

Neli:
I have a 1993 KX 500, and have been having trouble finding a shift lever for it ( I guess that I have the small spline gear on my lever change shift shaft ).

Do I have to update any other parts besides the seal in order to update my engine?

Thanks

Mark
