[QUOTE="Bunya, post: 1196781, member: 77196"] I've been down that road a few times. I learned my lesson the first time, but I've run into it a few times on used bikes I bought so I'd say it's fairly common. I've probably ran into more kick starters being stripped than gear shifters, but the cause is still the same. If the lever gets even slightly loose on the shaft, the steel will wear the aluminum lever pretty quickly. Because it's a lever, there's a tremendous amount of torque being applied across that connection. Also, because the cross section of the spline teeth is usually triangular in shape, it's much weaker than a square shape would be. So as Indy suggests, be sure to check it regularly for looseness. Don't forget about your kick starter, and pretty much any other splined connection as well. On one bike I bought, the clutch arm was stripped due to the same thing. [/QUOTE]
