Gear shift lever adjustments.
 

i ride a sv650s k3 and iv'e just picked up a new pair of boots which are slightly thicker than my previous pair but i'm not double jointed enough to get my foot in between the gear shift. iv'e got a workshop manual but it doen'ts show how to do adjustments. any ideas????? :(

Have you got standard pegs or something like gilles?

You cant move the peg forwards or backwards on standard rearsets only on ones like gilles. The lever can be moved up and down by adjusting the shift rod, unlock the nuts at both ends and rotate the rod until you are happy with the ajustment then tighen the nuts up again.

I modified my shifter, had a metal fabrication shop cut it in half, add length and weld it back together

gear lever.....
 

been away for a while so sorry on replying late. don't realy want to cut the lever yet so will try adjusting the bolts. if it is adjusted will it affect the clutch or anything. i'm not the most knowledgable when it comes to mechanics but i give it a try anyway :)
