Gear selector/lever

[Bentley]

@Darty I haven't worn MX boots while riding the DT yet! How uncomfortable is it changing gear with the longer gear selector? Any pics I'm a size 9 if that helps

[Bentley]

@Zrako hmm... brake lever would be nice

[finnerz89]

Just fitted the same as Darty, looks loads better! Definitely need a matching brake one now though

[Zrako]

@finnerz89 absolutely love it .

What about kickstart lever? Im looking for shiny alternative .

[Calum]

@Zrako Yeah I was thinking about this.

I believe Apico do some lovely levers for the YZ. They'll be a hell of a lot lighter too!

But will it fit the DT.

I need to borrow my brothers YZ lever to find out.

[finnerz89]

@Zrako I've got an electric start will be retro fitting a kicker at some point though. I know people fit stock YZ ones

[Zrako]

@finnerz89 Im just added the kickstart to the dtx as I love the kickstarts on the bikes but mainly because I had a lot troubles with starter. It decided to break right in the mot centre. And was tired of bumpstarting haha

I’m running an anodised folding pitbike selector it’s a good upgrade from stock with a bigger tip I’ve seen the apico ones give out after a while personally I wouldn’t use one after what I’ve seen of them

Honda CR85 Apico Gear lever fits.

@shellatit all bikes I’ve had/ seen have universal selectors

[Calum]

@declan YZ 125 Definitely does not fit dt.

[declan]

@shellatit Dependant on what you're looking for there are many gear levers for other bikes which will fit the DT. There are also many aftermarket levers as well as OEM levers which are of a similar shape to the DT's. I would suggest that you search on ebay or motocross/enduro websites and look for a lever of a similar shape. Or search for dirt/pit-bike levers as they seem to be 10_a_penny. So long as the shape, length and spline sizing are correct, then it will fit with no issues and there are many to choose from.

For example I couldn't find a decent one for my Aprilia MX 125 and searched as described above and eventually I found this bad boy, which fits perfectly and looks the mutts_nutts too!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

A nice quality kick start lever such as these, would match that gear lever and look awesome too;
