Gear shifter

[celler]

Well the 2T and 4T use the same shifter so I'd put the Honda shifter in the same category as the Honda rear sprockets. Close enough to force it but not quite right.

The shifter matched very well. Slid on smoothly and tightened up firm. 8 hours of constant shifting and it stayed tight. This has not been the norm on the many bikes I have had. This is with the 2001 cr 250R Honda brand shifter

The Honda shifter I have fits on the spline just like the stocker

Well maybe Hammerheads Honda shifter is suspect. You guys are using stock Honda parts?
I'm Japanese descent but I'm not putting Honda parts on my Beta! )

No mine is a hammerhead

You already have a Japaneese carb and ignition so why not?

Once my brother bought a Hammerhead shifter for a GG and it would just not fit properly on the shaft. The stocker and all my spares fit fine so it was the cut of the splines in the shifter for sure. Perhaps your shifter is suspect as well.

Because it's my choice!

My Hammerhead shifter for the Beta went right on. The one for Honda did not. Someone mentioned using mapp gas which tells me that one had to be spread quite a bit. Also if the Beta shaft is one spline (I don't know if it is, just saying) bigger then when the Honda shifter is fitted the extra spline would be ending up in the gap. I don't know for sure but the Hammerhead designer came and checked the spline on my bike. He said yes, the shaft was bigger and had a different spline count. Anyway for the sake of argument, which I tend to get sucked into, if the Honda shifter fits fine. I'm not telling you that you need to change it. Just that now Hammerhead has a specific part to fit the Beta.
Like the rear sprockets, it, the Honda one, might fit but it's not really right.

I mentioned using MAPP gas heat to aid in tweaking the lever arm to the desired height a small amount, not to bend or spread the clamp which was unneccessary.

Weird, I've got no other explanation now.

Maybe you were sent the wrong shifter

Doubtful, more likely the others got the wrong one.
