See Figure 1. Some motorcycles have a heel-toe shifter lever. Upshifts can be made with the heel of the left foot. Upshifts and downshifts can be made with the toe.

Downshift (toe): Push toe shift lever all the way down (full stroke)

Upshift (toe): Lift the toe shift lever all the way up (full stroke)

Upshift (heel): Push the heel shift lever all the way down (full stroke)

Release the foot shift lever after each gear change to allow the lever to return to its center position before another gear change.

NOTE

The height of the heel and toe shift levers can be adjusted for rider preference. Verify that full lever movement is available after adjustment. See the service manual.
