Shift Peg

dreamers-62 · 09-04-2008, 11:12 PM

Does anyone else have trouble reaching the shift peg...it almost seem like it should be shorter..I have to physically move my foot to reach it ..(maybe its the new rider syndrome) Do you know if you can buy shorter ones...??

Shift peg? You mean the shift lever? I don't have a problem at all. Sounds like either new rider syndrome or possibly short feet.

Out of curiosity, are you resting the balls of your feet on the pegs or the arches of your feet?

Is it that you have to point your toes down to get under it too much, or do you just have really short feet? The shift lever is adjustable up and down. Adjusting it up usually has the same effect as "shortening" it.

Check the owners manual, it'll tell you how to adjust it. You can also search some of the Maintenance threads here, which I know there is a couple of pretty detailed descriptions, if not pics of doing it.
