Title: Adjusting shifter position
Post by motokid on 05/20/09 at 08:50:38

Hi,

I just got a pair of new boots, and it looks like they are pretty tall in the toe area. It's getting difficult to up-shift. What's the best place to adjust the height of the shifter lever?

thks,

K

looking up from the bottom, there's a threaded rod with lock nuts on either end. Loosen both nuts and rotate rod to raise the knob. Then retighten the locknuts.

thks a lot. I'm assuming one of them must be counter rotating. Anybody happens to know which one before I strip the threads :)?

Having a look at the pitch of the threads might just do it for ya, IF you can get yer head that far down.. I havent tried to look, but I bet its hard if its even possible.

Nothing to it. Just lay down there and look things over. You can see which one goes which way. I can't remember right now, or I'd save you the trouble.

I think it's the nut closest to the shifter. :-?

thks everybody who replied, everything went as described. The nut is 10mm and the counter one is the one at the foot.
