R1 Alloy gear changer - lee2475 - 22-09-14
Hi Folks
I am wondering if anyone has fitted an alloy gear change from the R1?
Cant find one for the fazer so Im thinking maybe the R1 will work on the fzs 1000..Any suggestions be great.

Think these get fitted to take some of the "slop" out of the gear change as it is a shorter unit. Think that it rubs a little on the frame, but not 100% sure.

It's the early R1 gear shift arm that gets fitted to shorten the gear change, not the gear lever, sorry but no idea if the item in the link you have posted will fit.

Hi ...
Early R1 gear change lever won't fit a Fazer 1000 which is a shame as it's a better design, upper shift arm will fit giving a shorter lever throw.
Fazer 1000 lever shift throw is on the long side, had one in the garage a few yrs, fitted it now & seams to improve gear selection a bit.
Shift rod needed a slight "S" bend to clear the frame rail it runs thru, I just set lever height where I wanted it, measured it from the floor while on centre stand, marked where top of rod is with a sharpie, took rod off again & put as a slight "S" bend in it & refitted.
Yamaha gear boxes aren't in the same class as Honda, very clunky/agricultural shifting from my experience, never owned a new Yamaha only used, so could be down to rough use from previous owners.
Link rod will foul the frame a bit, so will need persuading a bit.
Rarely see em for sale used & new price is crazy expensive.

I've had one on my bike for many years. i found it much more precise. You do need to adjust the rod that connects the foot pedal to the shifter arm. A little bend sorts that though.

Fazer 1000 lever shift throw is small so don't see the point, tried an R1 shift arm on mine, didn't rate it, felt too wooden like it'd not shifted a gear, hence still have an as new unit in the garage in a sealed bag.
Link rod will foul the frame so will need persuading a bit.
Shift arm was quite pricey new (no longer available) & rose joint was extra, combined would have cost around £140 new, so expect to pay a good wedge for a good used unit.
Rarely see em for sale.
Found the arm for 15 euro, I think it's a good deal
