Is Your Gear Lever Worn Out? Here’s Why It Might Be Messing with Your Ride

 

In terms of motorbike performance, we frequently discuss engines, brakes, and tires. But have you ever considered your gear lever?

It may appear to be a small part near your foot, but your entire ride could be impacted if it fails to function properly. The little lever you press with your foot is what allows your motorbike to change gears smoothly. And as it begins to wear out, your bike will tell you but only if you pay attention.

Signs Your Gear Lever Needs Attention

Let’s say you’re riding to work or going out with friends, and something feels different:

  •         Your gear isn’t shifting the way it used to.
  •         You feel a clunk or click that wasn’t there previously.
  •         The lever seems loose or too soft under your foot.
  •         It needs more effort to switch gears.
  •         Sometimes it completely misses the gear.

 

Sounds familiar? All of the above signs indicate that your gear lever is worn or loose.

Why does this happen?

Your gear lever moves whenever you change gears. Over time, it naturally becomes loose or worn down, especially if

  •         You ride your motorbike daily.
  •         It has been exposed to dust, rain, or rust.
  •         Your bike got a fall, even a minor one.

 

Think of it as a door hinge. If it squeaks or rusts, it becomes difficult to open and close the door. The same goes for your gear lever.

What's the Solution?

 It’s easier than you think. Fixing this is simple and cheap.
 Here is what you can do.

  •         Check it frequently: When cleaning your motorbike, feel the gear lever. If it seems wobbly or bent it may be time to act.
  •         Keep it clean: Remove dirt and rust. If it feels too stiff, use a little grease.
  •         Replace it as needed: If it is clearly broken or simply not working properly, replace it. It’s a small part that makes a significant difference.
