nuke64 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 This will mark me as a newbie, but is it possible to adjust gear lever upward? The reason I ask, as a 50 y.o., hooking my toe under the lever is hard on my knee. My Intruder was set up so I didn't feel like my toe was pointed straight down.

TwistedTorque Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Does this help you? This sounds like something I need to do. I also wear steel toe boots when I ride and can have difficulty getting my toe under there to shift. Was it an easy thing to do?Very easy! There is a 10mm bolt on top of the shift linkage where it connects to the transmission, take that right out, pull the linkage off the splined shaft (taking note where it was originally) and then move the shift lever up to the desired position, Slide back on to the shaft and put the bolt back in place. I don't know if it was torqued to a specific amount I just put it on good and tight. http://fz07.org/thread/425/first-service-suggestions?page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICKY NEON Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I had to do it to, way to low on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Don't take the linkage off, look at the rod it is adjustable it as flats for a spanner hold the end and back off the top nut then the bottom one but IT IS LEFT HAND THREAD so back that nut off the other way you can then turn the rod to adjust the hight of the pedal then lock it up again.

nuke64 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks. Adjusted it upward, will give it a try tomorrow. I also ride to work with steel toe boots. Did not make for smooth shifting especially trying to beat traffic from away from a light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The clutch adjustment seems to make quite a difference to the gear change on this bike it needs to be just right on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
