I just bought new boots and they're bigger than my previous boots. I waited for months to get these and I was heartbroken thinking I had to return them. I will take some time tomorrow to adjust the shift lever height. Thank you for this video!

Precise, objective, perfect angle, awesome image quality, and easy to understand. I appreciate your excellent tutoring video. Exactly what I needed to know.

I think I may make a bunch of these short videos. Maybe.......

Long time dirt bike rider here, was perplexed by the mechanism for adjusting my road bike gear lever so I can get my Gaerne SG12 moto boots under it easily. This made it real easy and fast - thank you!

as a noob rider of 2 months this will help me to get the curage to do something myself and not just go down the shop everytime i want to get something done :D thank you for making this awsome and easy guide.

This is amazing. I just completed my basic training and my hip was cramping trying to get my foot in the shifter. So thank you for this, saves me a lot of discomfort!

Well made. It's like having a friend come over and show you how to do this. Only thing I didn't like about my bike. Fixing it tomorrow. Thanks!

Extremely well explained - perfect camera angle - thank you for sharing!

Straight to the point video, i like it!

Man, i think you just saved me from breaking the top pivot on my Triumph Tiger! Reverse thread of course!! D'oh. Thanks!

I was about to buy a heel toe shifter until I saw this video. Thank you!

This will change your life.

Thank you so much!! I just bough a pair of Milwaukee boots and went out to take a ride and they wouldn't fit under the shift lever! I've never had to make this adjustment in 48 years!! I was going to hit the service manual and decided to check in here first. Now I got it! Thanks again!!!

Perfect. I watched several videos on how to adjust the shifter. This one REALLY explained things. Thanks!!

Just got some new boots and need to lift my Guzzi lever. Thanks for the video. REALLY helped me a lot!

Best video on shifter adjustments

Outstanding video. Explained so even I can understand and confidently do it. Thank you.

my new (and deeper) boots arrive later today, so wanted to get ahead of the game as i'm likely to have to adjust the lever, thanks

Thanks, Marine. You helped out a dumb old sailor today.

You just saved me an embarrassing trip to the dealer

Instead of buying new thinner boots I am just going to adjust the lever 😊 Thank you! A few hours after the reaction above: I just made the change on my Indian Scout Sixty 2020. On this model there's only one nut on each side of the 'bar'. It makes it even easier to adjust 😊

i ride 3 years on my motorcycle and only today i gonna finnaly change the sfift my left leg is thanking to you

I am Latino and I speak more Spanish than English, but you explained it so well that it is easy to understand, thank you very much and I hope you continue with more videos like this.

Thanks for sharing this video. The instructional was very helpful with great detail. 👍

Worked perfectly. Keep up the good work.

Very well explained. Thank you!

You just made my day, I put new running boards and I'll be able to adjust. Thank you for the awesome video.❤

Thank you very much for this helpful video. I'm a newbie and just installed floorboards. I was able to adjust this as needed very quickly. Thank you!

Thanks, this video is exactly what I needed. I ride a 2021 cbr500r And my new corsa's were a little thicker and deeper than my Justin work boots. Now I know how to change shifter on the fly and only takes a second. My bike only has 1 nut, instead of the double nut. But one is reversed. Just break the two loose and spin rod. Thanks.

Perfect. Need to adjust for my boots as you said. ❤ Thanks

Beautifully explained, I bought new shoes thinking I'd have to give them back, thank you so much!

Great video. I knew how to adjust already , but was watching some of your other videos and decided just to watch it anyways.... very well explained!

Wow.. Truly brilliant. The best instructional video on this topic. Helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

That's a kick-ass video...well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I agree, it looks pretty simple. Any other motorcycle types?

Awesome vid! I have some chunky work boots that I don't use too much for riding since I wasn't sure how to adjust the shifter. Thanks for the tutorial.

Great video! Mine was to high for me and caused sometimes weird shifting. Dropped it down a little bit and it feels really good now. Thanks 👍🏻😊

Great video. Thanks!

what I have been doing for the last 20 something years, is that I adjust the shifter peg down to the level of the footpeg, then I remove the shifter peg and I will place a 5" or 6" x 3/4 " wide SS muffler bracket that comes with a pre-drilled hole the diameter of the peg screw onto the shifter arm and I will screw the peg back in place with the SS plate straight up and then I will place my boot on the peg with my hand and then I will take a marker and mark about 1/2" to 3/4" above the toe of the boot on the bracket. then I remove the bracket and drill a hole as the diameter of the shifter screw and then I secure two shifter pegs in place using the bracket and now the front of my Boot is in between the two shifter pegs and I don't have to fiddle around so much to shift gears. now it's just a matter of the boot moving up or down without having to lift my foot off of the lower peg. I put some blue lock tight on the screws and nuts on the upper and lower peg screws to keep the proper angle for my comfortable shifting while on my rides. this has worked for me for many many years and NO your foot won't get stuck between the pegs because you will always leave enough room for removal and you just practice sliding your boot out laterally when you stop which is something you do normally. I have never gotten trapped between the pegs or fallen over with my boot in place. I call it my Semi-Automatic shifter! it's really simple to make and if anyone is interested! I will be willing to send a snapshot of my shifter pegs on my Bike. PS I did change the shifter rod for a custom one and it is shorter than the OEM rod making it perfect to adjust the lower peg really nice and equal to the footpeg. after all, is said and done! it almost works like paddle shifters on a car.

I had to do this. Thanks for posting this video!

Thank you so much for sharing this video this really helped me

Thanks for the video! Very straight forward and to the point, but I'm sure for a lot of riders this will make a world of difference in comfort.

That was funny when u held boot up, i took my icon moto x boots 2 my wood guy & put boots on belt sander, u want flat non lug sole when sport bike riding even made the boot stickier, still adjusted lever but thought id mention it ; )

Thanks for the very useful instruction. I did the first ride with my new boots (Daytona max sport, with 6cm higher sole) and shifting gears was really difficult. Good that i found your video, so I'll keep the boots! 😉 Subscription & Greetings from Germany.

Awesome video, bought a new motorcycle an saw the shift lever was way to low an I was trying to figure out how to adjust it. This video saves life.

Perfect! Thanks for the explanation! This helped massively!

Exactly what I needed

Awesome! Thanks for the tutorial

Wow I didn’t know I could adjust my shift lever lol might mess around with this

I am not mechanically inclined at all and after watching that video I believe I might have a chance at doing this myself so thank you

Dude great, clear instructions thanks.

Very well made video sir. Concise, too the point easy for anyone with a modicum of knowledge to understand.

Thank you for this. I'm hoping that it'll be this easy for my Suzuki Intruder VS1400. My riding boots are really thick in the toe and it's impossible to get my foot under the shift lever. Have to shift with the lip of my sole, and it slips off all the tip and I hate it. So again thank you for this.

professionally made vid

Perfect video...thank you very much!!

Excellent and thank you! I needed to lower my shifter and now I know how.

Great tutorial! Thanks

Was about to return my brand new boots. Now I don’t think I have to! Thanks bro!

That sure helped me! Thanks

Thank you so much sir ! for the great video !! You really save me a lot of time !

realy useful. thank you Sir

Thanks for the information was greatly appreciated

Wow this is just perfect explaination. More tutorials please

Thanks bro 👍. My bike has been in the shop for a chain/sprockets replacement and when I rode it home yesterday the shifter was totally out of place from what I’m used too. Gonna make this adjustment later today. ✌️

Nice job on this video.

I can now tackle the gear shift.. thank you!

Thank you so much my man I appreciate it

Great video thanks.

Thanks for the video Semper fi brother

Thanks bro. Very helpfull

Good quality video guide (y)

thank you!

Nice! As it sits right now, I can’t get my boot underneath the shift lever on my Triumph Bonneville. Now, I think I can fix it. Thanks!

Hey guy thanks for the close up step by step ,as i was able to bring up my shifter so as i can now use the foot boards i recently bought as with only a 15% rotation capability ,it just wasn't enough to put the board down enough to safely get my boot under the shifter.

Very helpful thanks

Thanks Bro!

Thank you sir!!

That was very informative and on an idiot's level. Perfect manual, dude. Kudos.

Excellent ❤.

Hi.....! Nice video! Well explained! Did you ever think about radiator mesh guard? I have my scout for one year now and i can see radiator getting damage fins on the bottom

I have a trail for city and lever was too high like a motorcycle style, when I change from 1 to 2 gear many times shifter stop in neutral. now I can see light to the end of tunnel 🙏

Very helpful

Nice

Thanks😊

New boots on commute today was a mess... Could barely get my foot under the shifter with my collosal head stompers. Will do this asap. Ty for vid. More like if you can

This is amazing, thank you. Will is stop at max hight or is there any danger of going to far the the rod?

How do you like those MT60s?

I’m doing this when I get home

Hi i got 2022 duke 200, im having issue while i lower the gear while riding. Its not engaging sometimes what could be the reason? Only when i lower the gear. Sometimes have to release clutch a little bit to engage the correct gear.

Thanks

What about keeping the tie rod adjustment as is and instead pull the gear shift off the splined shaft and turn it left or right as needed? I dont have a bike like this but I do have a similar style of gear shift linkage. However, I cant find anything in the manual or service manual for this type of adjustment. Are all motorcycles with this style linkage adjusted the same?

the shift should be under the sole of the shoes no ? in my enduro is like this .. i have to put my toe down to gear up , and just slide forward and push down to gear down

Any chance you can do one for the break padel ?

Do you happen to have the torque specs for the bolt that holds the shift linkage rod in place? Thinking of taking mine off and coating it black.

I wish my adjusting rod rotated that easy, I had to get a wrench to get it to move lol.

adjusted mine in my klx140, any clue why after Im not able to shift past second gear?

How do you get that rod back on if it does come all the way off?

Does this need to be in gear or in neutral when adjusting?

if my gear shifter is in the midle, can i change it to the front?

Just replaced my whole shifter assembly and now it feels loose when I shift up and I can’t feel much when I’m up/ down shifting how can I fix that
