Hello Chums,
Had my first ride in 20 years on the DK/DS Special but only got about 100 yards down the road as I couldn’t get it out of first gear.
Not a problem with the gearbox you understand, but I just couldn’t get my foot (with a trainer on it) underneath the lever to move it up. Either my foot has got bigger since I last rode a K2 in 1990 or the lever is too short.
Its not the lever I remember with a round rubber on the end, this one is oval and quite stubby.
This bike has slid on its (both) sides many hundreds of yards down American roads with its previous owner and most parts have been replaced from the breaker’s yard with any old Honda bits that happen to be lying around. This I think being one of them.
Can anybody measure theirs and tell me if what I have is the correct lever? The one I have is 14cm long?
By the way, the bike is great. Goes like hell (in first).
Thanks in advance.
Phil in Cheltenham.
