Hyosung GT125R gear lever sliding

[Royski]

Hi,

I sometimes can’t change gear because my gear lever feels stuck solid. Upon inspection, it’s catching on one of the fixing bolts for the foot plate. My gear lever is sliding on its fixing. Is there a safe way to hold it in place while also allowing it to still rotate to select gears? Maybe some sort of clip?

Attached a pic of the part I mean

I presume you mean the pedal has lateral movement on its axle? If so, can’t you space it with a washer?

If you mean the other end is sliding around the selector shaft, the splines May be damaged or it may just be loose due to the pinch bolt.

Lateral movement, yes! (Sorry it’s been a long ass day)

I need it to be as far out from the bike as possible, if it slides toward the body of the bike, that’s when it catches. There doesnt seem to be anything stopping it from doing so. My previous bike did have an adjustable screw to tighten it, whereas this one is just a circular hole.

It looks as though your alloy hole should already have a steel ring piece pressed into it, which on yours looks, from the photo, as if it's partially worn away by the rod (bolt?) it fits over.

Looks like you are missing the bush that should be a firm press fit into the large hole at the pivot end

Ah yes, a bush. Rather like a ring piece in some ways. Some bushes have self-lubricating properties..
..such as those made from phosphor-bronze.

Yes, it's sad when a bush gets old and worn and no longer accepts free movement of the shaft

Still, could be worse, you go down there and find the bush is entirely absent... just smooth, shiny surface, very disconcerting

If it looks like it is out of shape I would not be riding it. Have you taken all of the plastic off and checked the frame for damage and cracked welds? I really think you should get the bike checked before riding it again a "minor drop" doesn't usually result in a bike becoming bent out of shape. The previous owner may have thrown it down the road and just stuck some new plastic on it and flogged it without getting properly repaired.

Put a thicker washer behind it, before the retaining circlip or pin. Mine has ansimilar issue that Im not too bothered to fix, the ball joint rubs on the chain.

OK , lets see if i can be a bit more positive, try re-bushing the pivot, you will need vernier calipers , some sharp drill bits and a battery drill.
Measure the shaft accurately and select the type of bush you need,

Update: Friend of a friend of a friend (you get the idea) was breaking a 250r and I managed to score a near mint gear lever and foot bracket.

Took the opportunity to inspect the bike and there is no damage to any of the other components.

Rode it to work this morning and its like a new bike.
