Title: what size is the spring clip for shift lever? Post by dv8savagerider on 07/07/11 at 18:40:14 Lost the spring clip to the gearshift lever while I was riding today. Got all the linkage back on and in place but could not find clip (impossible i know- lol) What size is it and do I have to go to a parts store or can I just go to the hardware? Thanks for the help everyone. |

I'd also wonder how that clip ever came off. I'd guess it was damaged from removing it sometime previously. That clip is hard to get off on purpose, let alone accidently. |

Title: Re: what size is the spring clip for shift lever? Post by dv8savagerider on 07/08/11 at 05:13:44 Yeah, I had just put forward controls on about 3 weeks ago and had to remove it at that time. Used the correct tool to take off and put on and thought it was secure and tight when re installed. I guess it could have lost some tension in the process. Just glad it happened to me when I was coming to a stop and not going down the highway. Wish that Clymer specifies the size of that sort of thing though :( |

Title: Re: what size is the spring clip for shift lever? Post by CalisOsin on 07/08/11 at 08:24:48 are you talking about that little round circlip? They sell them in assorted packs at Kragen. I had the same thing happen to me and found the one I needed in a $2 pack with many sizes. |

In principle a good idea if you manage to get a hole in that little bit of shaft sticking out. How many times do you have to have access to that? |
