I picked up a 2014 yz250f last fall and was picking up a few things and read about the longer shift lever. I wore my old "13 years old" old alpinestars tech 8 in size 11. I bought a new pair of Fox instincts but had to go to a size 13. Anyway. What length would you guys recommend? +10mm,+15mm, or +20mm shift lever? Preferably responses from guts that have actual experience. Thanks in advance.

You might want to get the brake pedal as well. It is adjustable for those of us who have a bigger foot than the size 9 or 10 that the bike is designed for.
From their site:
One reason why is this. Obviously, the shift lever is a big lever....duh...
Anyway, as it gets longer, it requires less effort to shift, but more throw. With stiff boots, its sometimes tough to rotate your ankle up and down much more than you do with a stock lever.
Go find a big hex wrench, and clamp it to your shift lever. You can set your boot in place to match up where you want the tip to land.
Then clamp it 20mm in front of where its at now and look how much further the arc (tip of lever) has to travel to make a shift.
Then maybe decide the money is best spent else ware. I suspect the factories have control over the throw distance and can maybe complete the whole process. We get half of it.

I have always found that aftermarket shifters never seem to hold up on the grooved from the shift shaft.
They always seem to develop some play over time.
They do look good though, something you can't save for the stockers.
I purchased a Tusk when I got a Zuk & it held up much better.
