[QUOTE="dirtbikingdad, post: 996587, member: 64531"] We just switched to dirt bikes, a month ago, from riding quads for over 7 years. The KDX we picked up needed a shifter and since OEM was soooo much money, I opted for aftermarket. I saw this EMGO on Eb@y and decided, Hey, it looks just like the Moose brand that is on my CR250... I'll "Buy It Now"! So it gets delivered and it looks a bit flimsy, but I say: We Gotta Ride tomorrow! My son installs it and the bolt breaks! So he overtighted it, no big deal.... the shift shaft is a bit worn.. no biggie. I was able to get the bolt out and replace it with a nice stainless steel piece. Good to go! We unload at the trailhead and start out on our first real ride on dirtbikes.... my son is doing well (15), when he realizes the shifter is bent after he kick starts it after killing it in some tight stuff. We head back to the truck for some repairs. With the shifter bent back in shape (it was too easy) we hook up with some friends and go for good ride. Yep, we're slow, but we make it through without incident. Back at the truck I see the shifter is bent again, but not as bad and in a different place! Time to replace this POS! Bottom line: We bought a Moose and it is a much, much, much (infinity) better part. The EMGO (DontGO) is designed to rely on the shifting forces to be absorbed by the thickness of the steel which is about 3/16". The Moose is designed to absorb this same force in the width of the steel (about 1/2") and the thickness of the shifter is about 1/4"! There is no comparision! [/QUOTE]
