I'm fricken pissed and it's probably nobody's fault but my own. I can put a brand new shift lever on and after one ride it will be loose. I tighten it up and after one more ride it will be loose again. I go through shifters like they are going out of style. Last night I tore it down and put in a new shift shaft and high dollar shifter thinking maybe the spline is fucked up. I rode today and the sumbitch is loose again after one ride. I am obviously doing it wrong but does anyone have a suggestion to fix this problem for someone who obviously sucks at riding such as myself?!?!

I had this happen on an old bike and had to split the cases and replace the shift shaft to solve the problem.
He already did this !!!!!!!
Do you torque it to spec ?
Sounds like you are stomping the shit out of the lever.......wait till you trash the tran$ from doing this.

Wouldn't you think another model of YZ would have similar results? never had a Yamaha with that problem, since 1968, anyway
...or, an old pair of vice grips makes a nifty shifter.

Looks pretty cool, too. Was it expensive?
