if you have room on the shift bar loosen the nuts and rotate the bar it will raise the toe shift

 

Just got mine down too. Like Brett said took longer to get the tools. Thanks.

 

One last question, I used a 3/8" drive rachet and hex head socket to put the bolts back in, do you think you can tighten it so much as to hurt anything? I would imagine that the shaft is probably hardened steel..........

 

Gotta take the heal shifter off and then the toe shifter. Easy to adjust.....shouldn't talk but a few minutes.

 

Use a little blue locktite and tighten the bolts down. No need to gorilla them down.

 

roger, used blue loctite, didn't gorilla them, maybe chimp, but not gorilla

 

If you don't tighten it good and use loctite the heel shifter will fall off at some point and time.
Ask me how i know

 

Use blue Loctite on the pinch bolts and a tiny bit on the splines. Eliminates the possibility of the shifters rattling. Also, as stated above, a twist of the shift rod will help to fine tune the height of the shift pegs if you're not happy with the position of the next spline.

 

yeah, i'd like to know how you wore out not one, but 2 sets of docs? i've been wearing mine for years, and they still have a ton of life left....

i like the idea of putting some loctite blue on the splines on the shaft. if you don't do something to alleviate some of the vibrating there, then the splines will get worn to the point that you will have to replace the whole shaft. good thing that its a cheap part and easy to replace.

 

Depending on the bike there are 2 ways to adjust the shifter. 1 way affects both, toe and heel, the 2nd only adjust 1 or the other.
Removing the toe/heel is the way most do it. Slight adjustments can be made with the linkage, however when you have the toe and heel shifter it will raise 1 and lower the other.
I do not use the heel shifter so I removed it. I can make some adjustments in a min. or so. Just loosen the 2 jam nuts on the linkage. Turn the shaft. It has left and right hand threads. As you turn the shaft it will either go up or down.
