Gear shifter clean, lube, mount & adjust position

[@jaymitchell7606]

Sir, this was one of the most straight forward and helpful videos I've ever seen. Thank you for your time.

[@elroyaston6277]

Thank you for pointing out the "dimple" mark on the end of the gear shaft. I installed forward controls on my bike and didn't pay attention to the position of the arm that goes on there. I have been trying to get this going all week. I knew there had to be a secret.

[@HYRULE10]

This was really helpful! I got started replacing my shift lever on my CB300F and had to stop short when I realized I didn't have any grease. This was a useful video to see how and what I need to lube to get things going. Thanks!

[@theoverengineer]

Glad it helped!

[@darealskyywalker9496]

By far the best vid I've found for replacing my gear shifter pedal. Bravo sir! Subscribed!

[@Pottan23]

My zr7 is being weird when shifting and I'm hoping I just have to clean and re-lube the linkage. Perfect video showing and explaining everything without becoming long or going on tirades

[@theoverengineer]

Glad it helped

Switch to Motul 7100 oil and you'll see MAGICAL new shifting and clutch disengagement. I couldn't even get my bikes to shift good with Mobil 4T oil.

[@Mackandal-]

Great video! Your instructions were detailed and very useful. Thank you for sharing.

[@drewjenn9819]

Thanks, I'm replacing my lever after it was bent when I dropped my bike, thinking my kickstand was down. This helped.

[@theoverengineer]

Glad it helped!

[@adammooney3058]

Thanks I like videos that explain what's going on rather than poor editing and shitty music thank you hopefully I can fix my honda cbr today

[@samboles3670]

That's how you make a video superb! many thanks!

[@davidkern442]

This was very helpful, thank you! You have a great way of explaining.

[@Cbrplay]

Good job! Great information!!

[@ladyjrider666]

Great explanation 👌

[@roadwarrior8560]

Great video, subbed.

[@teh_masterer14]

This was amazing thank you

[@Tubularjake]

Can you use normal chain lube for your lubricating oil on this part?

[@EfficientMan]

From Honda service manual that has exactly the same system (I guess all or most of Japanese): Torque for that bolt at 12:05 is 20 Nm (14 lbf ft). It felt quite a lot..

[@theoverengineer]

Thanks for the note!

[@dawnsabin-simpson8938]

Great advice thank you.

You're the man! This SAVED me today! Out of curiosity are you greek or Austrian?

[@theoverengineer]

- grew up in 6 countries, that's 2 of them ...

[@Mafioso629]

theoverengineer nice bro! I’m super into languages and cultures eight by the way I think I totally jacked up my fucking shifter today bro

[@Faizankhan-iv9qg]

Helpful

[@martinslater381]

Although it would seem easiest to just remove the bolt and re-position the splined arm, The dot and the slot Must align, or the leverage to change gears will be severely increased, Adjust Only via the rod.

[@theoverengineer]

Good point, thanks for watching!

[@HalfdeadRider]

I'm not sure I'm misunderstanding your comment, but the purpose of the splines is for adjustment for the individual rider, different people need the pedal a bit higher or lower than factory fitment.

Autosol is perfect for cleaning stainless steel 👍🏻👏🏼

[@theoverengineer]

(Mostly aluminum castings and mild steel parts here)

[@claireb8542]

Great video! Thank you :)

[@Zx_Skorpion]

bro wats the name and size of that Alen key bolt hit me back asap on the shift lever bolt

[@cocu9365]

hello, my shifter has some rust spots, will the lacquer thinner remove that or should I use CRC evapo rust remover? do I need to use both?

[@theoverengineer]

Anything you have at hand and works works, no need for spending money. Polishing paste, wire brush, 2000 grit sandpaper, anything.

[@cocu9365]

@@theoverengineer thank you for responding and very useful video!

[@marielmallon]

Awesome video!!!

[@celestinvanheuverzwijn196]

Hi, I ride a mash 50cc wich has the same shift mechanism and today i crashed with it in a field. Nothing is broken so far but the shifter on the peg is higher then normal. Could i fix this by adjusting it? Edit: yes it worked thank you!

[@theoverengineer]

Might. You can also try to straighten the bent shifter like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4WTpXyvdqikZ8U

[@ultrasmart6242]

Great video thanks!

[@stevej5521]

Very thorough thankyou

[@Josieman543]

What kind of grease is that

[@theoverengineer]

Yamalube Marine

[@ShivaKumar-gx1dc]

Sir were can I buy the 0:56 bolt please reply me sir , I have lost that bolt while riding I'm not able to find in automobile stores

[@theoverengineer]

Of course, it's a motorcycle part. Get one made by a first year apprentice machinist on a lathe in 3 minutes.

[@kylemayer1956]

How did you get the boots back on the ball joints?

[@theoverengineer]

Place them on the rod first, then push, pull, turn over the ball joint housing.

[@SeedsInFertileSoil]

Did you apply the thread lock directly on to the threads then insert it?

[@theoverengineer]

Yup, then spread it around, then put in & tighten. Works since.

[@vprince9907]

So how did you clean the black rubber piece that seats on the shifter there ?

[@theoverengineer]

That didn't need much cleaning, just hand-rubbed

[@vprince9907]

@@theoverengineer oh okay I used bit of alcohol on tissue n cleaned it down then pushed it back onto my shifter I painted it to lime green.. I had done the rear sub frame rear sets too in lime green but fucked them up trying to do outer area in black the wrong way using cotton swabs bcuz I ran out of black from can lol I have to re sand them n do em all over again 😅
