If not, you may just not have enough "throw" on that piece to make the shifter "guts" move. Double check it, make sure the finger part is straight down, let us know what happens.

I took the shifter rod assembly back off and adjusted the angle of how it connected to the knurled rod coming out of the transmission. That must have done the trick because I am back in business. Future note to anyone doing this is to put a witness mark on that portion of the assembly before taking it off to eliminate the guess work.

Yes the internally splined part is what I adjusted. Wouldn't say it is straight down but much closer to down than horizontal now. What is the correct procedure to align it, should the transmission be in neutral?

Reply #18 - 06/22/13 at 19:09:42 I remember a few yrs ago when I installed the FC kit, I had to move the arm on the transmission by 1 spline, to get it to completely shift. W/o looking, I would assume the arm should be straight down when in neutral. But when I think about it, seems like it should be straight down in any gear.

Start with it close to straight down, adjust the angle until it will smoothly drop into each gear. Each bike is just a touch different than the ones that left the line directly before and after it.
