better 610 shifter?

Can anyone recommend a better shifter for the 610?

I had a slow-speed left side drop and the stock shifter dimpled the case.
I siliconed a penny over the dimple as a temporary guard.
I need a longer shifter in order to be able to shift with moto boots as well as one that isn't prone to damaging the case.

Thanks for suggestions

All shifters have the potential to pierce a case. I made a case guard out of al and hammered it round enough to be able to silicone to the case. now the shifter can't puncture the case.

I got more boot room by switching to Fastway pegs set in the "low-boy" position. Gave me another 3/4" between peg and shifter.

+1. I love my Fastway "low-boy" pegs. I'm 6' 3" so I did it for the room. IMO you will love them.

After bending the tip on my shifter I modifed a KX 250 shifter to fit my needs. The shaft diameter and splines are the same.

I noticed there are 3 different pegs listed f3,f4 and f5 do you recall which ones you bought or do they all provide the extra clearance?Anything would help a 13 boot.
Thanks

The difference between the three pegs is the cleats. Take a look at the photo. I have the F3 but going to put on the F6 cleats this year.

Cool,thanks.

Here is a pic of the pegs n my 610.

Thanks for the suggestions on pegs. I like those Fastway pegs.
I may see if my TE250 pegs fit the 610. They are pretty decent stock pegs.
Still wondering if anyone knows of an aftermarket shifter they could recommend.

The bike I plan to buy has had a minor tip-over on the left side. The shifter works ok, but is a bit mangled.. I won't keep it. If anyone has replaced a perfectly good stock shifter (for 2006 sm610 if that matters) and has it laying around, please send me a PM, I'll be glad to buy it. Otherwise I'll probably put an ad in the trading post section, or just get a new shifter.
Thanks,
John

I would also like to replace my shift lever, what bolts right up?

It appears from your photos that your shifter is even shorter than my '09, and I have trouble shifting with size 9 boot. Does the Fastway lowboy setting drop the level of the peg or move it backwards?

I applied a little heat to the middle section of the shifter and bent it out away from the case. This allowed easier access while wearing boots. Not perfect but better.

Both.

I have a horror of a time with the 630. Knackered ankles that don't have a lot of strength combined with stiff boots (Crossfires) and the very crowded riding position where the back of my boots are against the back of my thighs conspire to make up shifts difficult. Raising the seat height a couple of inches has helped, but I am almost at the point of building an old school heel toe shifter.

There’s a thread somewhere either here or at supermotojunkie of someone who made plates for the 610's, that lowers the pegs a little
Not sure if he still makes them but all the comments from those who bought the plates came back positive for legroom and ease of shifting
