Royal Enfield 570244/C – Heel & Toe Gear Lever Assembly (Chrome) for Classic 350/500 UCE, Bullet 350/500, Electra 350, Thunderbird 350/500, Thunderbird X & Continental GT 535 – Genuine OEM

The Royal Enfield 570244/C Gear Lever Assembly is the genuine heel & toe gear shifter used across most 5-speed UCE / EFI “old model” Royal Enfield motorcycles. Official microfiche and dealer catalogues list 570244/C simply as GEAR LEVER, while trusted sellers map it as the stock heel-toe lever for Classic 350 & 500 UCE, Bullet 350/500 UCE, Electra 350 UCE ES, Thunderbird 350/500 (TBTS & UCE) and Thunderbird X 350/500, with several sources also including Continental GT 535.

Made from high-strength steel with a durable chrome finish, this OEM lever is designed to deliver smooth, precise shifts while matching the original styling of your bike. The heel & toe pads let you upshift with your heel and downshift with your toe, keeping your riding boots cleaner and reducing ankle strain in stop-go traffic.

If your existing lever is bent, rusted, loose on the spline, or replaced with a cheap local part, upgrading back to genuine 570244/C restores factory shift feel and correct lever geometry. Because it’s a direct OEM replacement for the models listed below, it slips onto the original gear-shaft spline and works with the stock footrest and linkage—no jugaad, cutting or welding required.

🔎 Old UCE / EFI models only: Not for J-Series (Classic Reborn, Meteor, Hunter, new Bullet 350), Himalayan or 650 Twins.

FAQs

Q1. Is 570244/C compatible with my Classic 350 Reborn (J-Series)?
No. 570244/C is for old UCE / EFI models only. The J-Series Classics use a different gear lever and spline angle. Always check your VIN and parts catalogue before ordering.

Q2. Is this lever heel & toe or just toe-shift?
It’s a full heel & toe lever – toe pad at the front, heel pad at the rear – just like the stock shifter supplied on Classic / Bullet / Thunderbird UCE models.

Q3. Do I need any extra parts to install it?
In most cases, no. You reuse your existing pin/bolt, spring washer and linkage. Just remove the old lever from the spline, align the new one, and tighten securely. If your hardware is worn or rusted, we recommend replacing it at the same time.

Q4. My bike has trouble going into gear. Will this fix it?
If the issue is due to a bent or loose lever or worn splines, yes, replacing it often restores clean shifts. If gears are still hard to engage, your clutch adjustment or internal gearbox components may need inspection.

Q5. Is this better than a local aftermarket shifter?
Yes. Being a genuine Royal Enfield part, the spline fit, offset and lever travel are exactly to factory spec, so you get precise shifting, longer life and no weird angles compared with cheap local copies.
