Had a run in with a curb, to avoid a car today...
Lost a turn signal and busted a piece of the shift linkage. Fortunately I put the bike down in the grass, so no scratches on the bike or me.

I need to replace the piece that the shift linkage bolts to...the shift lever and linkage parts are fine, just the part that the linkage bolts to. Does anyone have a source to get this, or should i just call the dealer? It is a xb12r.

It is the piece that goes over the shaft. I had to order from the dealer, $40 and a five day wait.

Sounds like it. It will be moderately annoying, but not a disaster. Hard to imagine bending that shaft without hurting the primary cover as well, but I suppose it is possible.

Your local dealer can get all the parts. You will have to pull the primry cover, and the clutch, primary chain, and alternator rotor as a unit.

There is a little seal in the primary cover for that shaft that should be replaced as well.

The shaft looks fine, the bolt hole, where the linkage bolts to broke off. I am glad it is not the shaft...then i would have had to take it to the dealer, i am not too familiar with working on bikes...yet.

Call around, you may find one in stock locally.

Also, be advised that someone in the parts packaging system mixed up some labels and my dealer tried to sell me a Blast shift lever for my 2000 X1 Lightning today. Right number, wrong part!

Can't imagine this happening often but be on the lookout anyway.
