Adjusting Shift Pedal
If the gears do not engage fully or the toe shifter travel is incorrect, the shift linkage must be adjusted. See Figure 4. Adjust the shift rod until the shift pedal is at 45 degrees as described.
1. Remove screw (1) securing the ball joint (2) to shift pedal (5).
2. Turn ball joint or shift rod (4) to adjust rod length. Temporarily attach ball joint to shift pedal and check pedal angle. Make sure an equal number of threads are visible on both ends of shift rod.
3. When pedal angle is at 45 degrees, install screw (1). Tighten to 13.6–20.3 N·m (120–180 in-lbs).
