Broken Leg need Button shifter

[appleman400ex]

Is there any type of set up that allows a 400ex to be button shifted or somthing to change the way it is shifted and still be able to clutch

make a suicide shifter out of some tubing, Just take a tube, cut your shifter end off then weld the part that goes onto the shifter to the tube at a 90 degree angle and put the clutch lever and a grip on the shifter so you pull the lever in and push / pull it. i did that on my 300ex for fun, and it was.

here are some pics... your best bet would be to not ride if your leg is broken though lol.

a simpler one

I rode with a broken leg, it wasn't fun at all. I didn't have issues with the shifter, I had a rod put in, no cast. I don't recommend it. The first time I had to stand, to avoid going over the bars, HOLY COW did it hurt!!!!!!!!!!! Stay off the atv until you can walk.

ive done it too...i used to have a recon when i broke my leg so i just rode it. it was a auto clutch i couldnt get my cast under the shifter so i just shifted with my hand. very dangerous and any kinda bump or anything like that hurt like a bioch. best bet is to wait till your healed up or you could very well cause complications with your break

but you can very well get an air shifter like they use on drag bikes

When I was a kid, I had a broken left leg, My buddy had a broken right hand. We decided it would be a good idea to ride still. He shifted and controlled the clutch, I controlled the throttle............... It was cool for a minute, then we tried to climb this hill. He popped the clutch and it caused me to get a hand full of throttle. Needless to say, the front end did not stay down with all of the weight on the back of the bike. We still get $#!^ from his dad for wrecking his bike.

yeah i was just figurin the suicide shift is fun even without a broken leg lol. and it's under $10 to make lol.

I could have swore there was an aftermarket shifter system just like a foreman es a few years back.

You could buy a Pingel Air shifter, they work pretty good.

[John451]

look in hunting catalogs under atv assesories you can get a stick that mount to the shifter so you can shift with your hand
