FAQs
Is this part compatible with the left hand shifter?
No, this cover is specifically for the right hand SL-M9000-I shifter. Left and right shifters use different covers.
Do I need special tools to install this cover?
Typically, you will need basic bicycle tools such as a small hex wrench. Refer to the official Shimano service manual for specific tool requirements.
Can I use this cover on other Shimano XTR shifters?
This cover is designed exclusively for the SL-M9000-I model. Using it on other models may not provide a proper fit or seal.
