Ok i posted this in the 600 section but I think more people look here

I got my bike back from the shop and they put a new shift rod in my old one was bent...but now when i shift I have to lift my whole foot off the peg to get it into gear? Is there a way I can lower the lever so it does not sit so high?

It is really annoying becuase i when shifting into second I usually go into N becuase I have to lift my foot so high. I looked to see if there was a screw to lower it down but it looks like it might be on the backside?

 

yea there are bolts on either side of the rod holding it in place. loosen both sides and adjust. one is a reverse thread bold. adjusting this will make the shifter lever higher or lower.

Thank you, I am heading out there right nor to take a look

 

This can be unsafe if there are much adjustment needed. The rod can barley be stuck inside the adjuster if that is the direction you have to adjust. See this thread where I reply with a picture.

Yea I went out there and just took that bolt off, after I actually looked at it I figured that was what i needed to do to adjust it. then i moved it so the rod was aiming straight down (think thats how it was before) and i got on and it felt normal again. Thanks guys.

 

Anytime. I am as repairing my valve cover gasket right now. Waiting on gf to bring truck home becasue the wrench I need is in my toolbox, lol. Here is a picture until then.
