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
![face palm :fp](http://ozstoc.com/Smileys/default/facepalm.gif)
And so was born the following How To...
![biggrin :grin](http://ozstoc.com/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
In this How To I'll be covering how to move the gearshift pedal up (or down) as required on the ST1300
![thumbs up :thumbsup](http://ozstoc.com/Smileys/default/Thumbs_up.gif)
1 Put the bike on the side stand
(This will raise the break pedal side where the adjustment will be made)![](https://image.ibb.co/hNfraF/20170225_154445_zpsyokk80pv.jpg)

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)![](https://image.ibb.co/nB6a2v/20170225_154810_zpsaun2d786.jpg)
* 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)![](https://image.ibb.co/d2PHFF/20170225_154700_zps20rik2pn.jpg)
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
)![](https://image.ibb.co/mKTNhv/20170225_155645_zps2tvth6ai.jpg)
5 Remove the 10mm bolt from the gearshift pedal link arm
![](https://image.ibb.co/kBZHFF/20170225_155850_zpsrvoffhap.jpg)
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 below![](https://image.ibb.co/meeHFF/20170225_160718a_zps7mpeygqx.jpg)
7 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
![](https://image.ibb.co/bXMWaF/20170225_163929_zpspygeus30.jpg)
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
