the splines look bad and the shifter, not much better on the shaft.

is there a guide to replacing the shifter shaft?

On most full size bikes you have to remove the clutch basket and the shift shaft pretty much just pulls out from behind it. Should have a spring to hold it in the neutral position that you will have to remove as well. Also a good time to change the seal.

man I hope so, going to check the parts fiche

That it how it works on my H series.

A semi fix might be to take a grinder to the shifter and cut the opening out a little more, that way when you tighten the bolt it tightens up better

already did, and then tried red loctite on both the splines and bolt

The bike is worth the fix. Will make a nice project and maybe a good time for some other maintenance as well.
Just trying to put a positive spin on it for ya.

you CAN place a tack weld onto the very end of the shaft then move over to your shifter. you can either grind the weld off to get your shift lever back or just plasma cut the whole mess off when your ready to change the shift shaft. not recommended but it does work very well.

don't let the mods see that advice, they will take one of your stars away
