I just brought some new motorcycle boots and found that due to the shape of them I needed to raise the gearshift leaver so my boot would fit under it
And so was born the following How To...
In this How To I'll be covering how to move the gearshift pedal up (or down) as required on the ST1300
1 Put the bike on the side stand
(This will raise the break pedal side where the adjustment will be made)2 Remove the black plastic lower faring that runs along the bike under the break pedal
* Remove the push pins from the lower faring under the front of the bike
* Remove the push pin from the lower faring above the break pedal
(Screw type on the ST1300P)* Remove the hex bolts along the side of the lower faring
(Make sure to keep them in order as they aren't all the same length)3 Place the lower faring to the side out of the way
Now we can access where the gearshift pedal link arm connects to the gearshift spindle
(The pic below is a photo from under the bike to give a better look at what we are working with )4 Mark where the gearshift pedal link arm connects to the gearshift spindle to give us a point of reference for the adjustment
(I used a whiteout pen )5 Remove the 10mm bolt from the gearshift pedal link arm
6 Wiggle the gearshift pedal link arm off the gearshift spindle then place it back on with the lines we made earlier misaligned.
(Counterclockwise to raise the gearshift / Clockwise to lower) * NOTE: If you are having difficulty moving the gearshift pedal link arm off the gearshift spindle use a flat head screwdriver to widen the gap shown in the pic below7 Now sit on the bike and test the new height of the gearshift
(make any adjustments needed to get it into a position you are happy with)Before
After
8 When you are happy with the position reinstall the 10 mm bolt then reinstall the black plastic lower faring.
9 Go for a test ride
I hope this is of some help to you all
Cheers
