This genuine Yamaha factory-original drive lever assembly is a critical part of the starter clutch system. It coordinates the mechanical movement that engages the starter motor with the engine's flywheel when starting the bike. Made from premium hardened steel alloy, this lever is built to manage heavy starter torque and high rotational stresses, ensuring reliable and smooth engine starts every single time.

Fitment Details
This is a direct OEM replacement. When installing this drive lever assembly, inspect the adjacent starter idler gears, compression springs, and starter clutch bendix for wear or chipped teeth. For a leak-free seal, always replace the associated small oil seal (93102-10247) and the gasket (3EG-15568-00) when opening up the starter clutch housing area. Lubricate the pivot points with clean engine oil before finalizing the assembly.
