Adjusting the shifter lever

[BenzillaScrapping]

OK, so I'm totally new to riding (except being a passenger), owning a bike (my first), and vehicle maintenance (outside of when i was a kid helping my dad many moons ago) so you'll have to forgive me for asking really dumb questions, but......I noticed someone said it is possible to adjust the shifter and/or foot peg to make it more comfortable, but i've checked my manual and it shows nothing....how is this actually done? I have a 2008. I actually accidentally ditched it :oops: over the weekend, and short of some scratches and dirt, the big thing is now the shifter is too far away and I had to ride it home upshifting with the back of my boot, which is a bit weird. I don't really want to take it to a shop (although if that is what i need to do i will) as i really want to learn how to take care of it myself. any thoughts and suggestions? thanks kindly in advance.... elle
