Hi

Anybody have any suggestions for improving gear selection on my daughters rev 80?

Compared to my 125 gas gas its a bitch to find neutral sometimes, it also seems that the gearchange lever is very flexible which adds to the problem as it feels to bendy to me?

Is there a stronger, stiffer lever to use than the alloy one it has which incedentley is aftermarket and not Beta?

On the gas gas the lever is positive and much shorter.

Please dont say get a gas gas instead although I would agree as they seem better to ride all round and much easier for her to kick.

Any advice would be good

Cheers

My lad had a rev 80 for quite a few years. All I can suggest is carry out the clutch clean up mod's pinned at the top of this thread. It makes a huge difference to the 80 as well. Also use a good quality gearbox oil and change it regularly. Bleed the clutch system until all the fluid is changed for fresh and make sure there is a little bit of play in the clutch lever adjuster screw. Clutch drag will make finding neutral very hard.

If the after market gear lever you have is bendy why not replace it with the standard one from Beta?
