I can see that, I was wondering if you thought it helped :?: perhaps you've not road tested it yet,

Not fully when I first took it out it was way too high & I had to lift my whole leg to change gear. Now it seems just right but will have to give it a longer run to really check it out

While you at it you may want to move the linkage arm that attaches to the spline on gearbox 1 notch clockwise to give yourself a shorter shift. This helps with gear changes.

I finally got around to road testing the new position of the gear linkage (as above).
I don't know why I haven't tried this before, I know I've seen it recommended enough times. I've got to say it does make a difference in a good way :thumbup:

So thanks Carl for suggesting it again :clap:

Anyone else thinking of trying this, moving the linkage one notch (as above) raises the gear change lever height by approx. 19mm (3/4"). So measure the gear change lever height before you start, so you can adjust the rod length to put it back to the same level after carrying out the modification.

:thumbup: Amazing the difference one notch makes. I was pleasantly surprised when I first tried it.
