961 gear lever

cliffa · Feb 23, 2021

On the off chance, does anybody have an early 961 gear lever they don't want / need? (the one which points backwards).

Bumping in the hope...

If you measure the diameter of the spline and count the number of teeth then you may be able to find an alternative that fits.

For an RSVR1000 I found

Yamaha 06-16 R6/02-03 R1 shift arm that fits straight onto the Aprilia gearbox shaft (part no 5PW-18112-00)

RS125 lever did look good as did the Cagiva Mito lever

MT03 (320cc version) shift arm

I will check diameter and no of teeth later.

Data Aprilia RSVR gear change shaft Spline 11.3mm OD 30 teeth

Thanks kommando, I think it's the same spline as a Buell Blast. I'll measure a bit later.

The gearbox is based on the Harley Cassette gearbox so that makes sense.
