That's part # 2L1-18111-00-00, the same lever from 1976-1982
The shift shaft is standard Yamaha 11.35mm, 30 tooth spline. I might have a similar stock shifter left over from something I installed rear sets or forward controls on. I will dig through the bins tomorrow for you. It just depends on the length and bend to clear the case covers etc.
Have you tried cleaning both surfaces and then soldering it in position?
Even if the solder doesn't bond enough to seal it like you'd need for a plumbing joint, if it hardened up fully in the grooves, it would likely tighten it up enough to use indefinitely. Might make it harder to adjust later though ...
I am forever destine to open that cover up. (apparently) I tried to use a plastic tie, and it didn't do any good, it slipped two splines for sure, maybe more. http://www.ebay.com/itm/190720789918 $19.96 s/h free
I think this is the one to go with. I did see one made of steel, probably off MikesXS site. but I didn't get any warm fuzzies for compatible with the XS400 (XS650) Well come to think of it, I found it from our site, so its probably fine. http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?p=147720
On mine, the spline was OK, but the lever was broken again after a previous weld. I went with the part # Dean provided, 2L1-18111-00-00 and looked online. Found one that was a 30 some dollars and free shipping. Can't remember the suppliers name but I think I got the last one in stock anyway.
