    the '85 lever is longer... because the pegs are farther forward than the '86... try a lever from a KX...

    about 2 inches... it may work if you have big feet... Or it could be shortened easily if you have access to a welder...

    The shifter from a 1984 KX250 is way too short for a 84/85 Tecate

    How does it compare to the '86 lever?

    Pics of what I believe is a 1984 (1985, 1986) KX250 shift lever next to one on a 1986 Tecate.

    I pulled the KX250 motor to put in my Tecate and when I got the motor in I realized the shifter had to be swapped out.
