Susuki SV1000S Fix

[LaggCity]

After my little accident on the weekends ride , I need to replace my clutch lever $40.00 parts and gear lever $156.00 parts, does anyone know if this is an easy job that could be done at home, or is it something best left to the Pro's. If it is easy any pointers to instructions would be welcome.

[Lou Girardin]

It's easy. Have a look at the bits, it'll be self-evident how it all comes apart.
Just be careful of the clutch interlock switch.

[John Banks]

$196?! Ouch!
The damage looked like barely anything... just a replacement gear lever.

Yeah... ouch.

Yeah... ouch.

Yeah I nearly had a meltdown when they told me the price, tempted to just drill the sucker and put some rubber over the bolt

[Leong]

Man, that was an expensive little mistake!!

Hi mate.

I have a gear lever of a 1999 R1 which is just sitting around I wonder how different they are.

If you do a bit of research and find that you could use it pm me and I will get it down to you

If you have a look at it and it isn't obvious to you how to do the repair, leave it to a mechanic. I imagine you can do a bit of damage if you try hard enough (speaking from experience).

Did you get a price for a lever off Henry at Takanini motorcycle wreckers?

All easy fix's..as said by Lou Girardin,watch out for the switch under the clutch pivot.................. as far as the shift lever,if only the spigot broke off but the arm itself is still intact,repair is easy and a lot cheaper!!...... the only problem being if the SV rearset is like the TL1000 you have to remove the flanged capscrew that holds the footpeg to get the shift lever off,it is most likely loctited...as long as you have a 10mm inhex (i think) and a powerbar,no worries.

A GSXR1000 one is $146, but the aftermarket one, which is fine, was $49! - and - after drilling out the spigot and putting a bolt in, Ive got a spare.

Check out Pazzoracing.com. I got some for the Z1000. cost around $150 landed. Heaps better than the originals.

The only bit that is missing off the gear lever is the end bit with the rubber on which is at right angles to the shaft, is it possible to get Aluminium welded or something?

Can you get a picture of it..........if the arm itself is not damaged and it is the same as a TL1000 item i will do a straight swap.

What can be done most times is countersink the back of the hole in the arm,machine a new tit with suitable thread and secure it with a countersunk capscrew and bobs your aunty
