The Offical Pachaug Trail Thread

Apparently you can get it out from taking the clutch side cover off and removing the clutch itself. Still a PITA but better than removing the engine to split the case. Part is only $60. I'll try a dremel tonight. Not much room to work in with peg, case and frame in the way.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

can't you just grind/cut through a couple of sections around the shift lever, then punch a section out. Probably not explaining it right, but make a few incisions with your dremel in a couple of spots like in the photo, weaken the metal, then carefully punch it out. Maybe I have no clue, but this is what I would attempt:

ktm in their wisdom does not use the clamping system liek everyone else

ok, i figured i must be missing something...that's what I get for not drinking the coolaid

I was thinking it was the clamp style too.guess I got to go out to garage and look.
Still may be able to replace existing with clamp one.

That my be an option ( a rather brilliant one too)

cool aid is too cheap.. Its more like perrier with tang and gold flakes sprinkled in...lets just call it goldschlager from now on

matter of fact the clamp on one I used in the picture was a replacement part for KTM.

You found a clamp type for KTM? Wondering how it stays on the beveled spline. Another option I've seen is getting a steel shift lever (apparently arc makes one) and welding it to the steel shaft.

Anyone find a local store that carries rescue bits?

nope... Shrinking diameter spline shaft

Thanks I was hoping to run to Lowes or something and try it.

After unsuccessful dremeling I broke down and removed the clutch side case and clutch. Ended up breaking the aluminum clutch hub trying to get the nut off it though. Another $60 or so part. This is giving me flashbacks to the "shock incident" where I had to take the shock to C-Cycle...just a series of things going wrong all at once. Looks like I might miss Indian Ridge this weekend.

I cant make it if you wanna borrow the 200.. You're gonna have to pick up and drop off and promise not to fix anything

HaHa.....was that the time you ripped the aluminum door off of the guys shop trying to get in?

Plexi-glass I think, but yep.

Lol. Thanks but I can afford to fix your bike too.
