gear shifter rod snapped in half
12/12/11 at 11:02:15

my gear shifter rod snapped in half on my way to work this morning.

found out most what i need to know here:

http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1283987338/1

but having trouble finding the part. anyone know exactly what it's called. is is just the "gear shifter rod"? searching for "gear shifter rod 2000 ls650" keeps bringing me to places selling the whole gear shifter.

also, how much damage can I do just riding it around in 3rd gear for a few days till I get the part? seems easy enough to replace once I find it.

thanks!

They get swapped out for a different one that comes with the kit. Want mine? I'll send it to you for the price of postage. PM me. Uh, but let me check to see whether I tossed it.
