How To Adjust A Motorcycle Shift Linkage Yamaha FJR1300

[@SuthernCalMotovlogs]

This video is a HUGE help as I have bought new thicker riding boots & had mis-shifted a few times in the beginning. I'd been planning on making this adjustment. Thanks a lot Bryan!

[@RatherBeTouring]

Very handy video. I installed a set of Helibars that changed my riding postion and needed to raise the shifter.

Glad it helped

Another great helpful video so many thanks, new boots meant I had to make an adjustment and I was going to take the big plate off until I watched the video, I never even knew those two markers were there and now I know adjustment takes 2 mins

absolutely amazing engineering put into the bike. ..

[@tomfjr3872]

Cool ! Thanks for showing us that feature of the bike.

Late to this video. Thank you very much. Another fantastically useful video

I've been riding a metric bagger (Kawi Nomad) with a heel shift for last six years, and when I got the FJR about a week ago, was having trouble with missed shifts and difficult downshifts. I'm going to raise the shift actuator and am hoping this adjustments cures the problem.

Thanks very helpful..I put lowering blocks on my pegs when i got my bike and shifting was a pain sometimes.

[@knightlangelot5238]

Thank you so much. It's clear now. How did you know the top nut is right hand thread and the bottom nut is left hand thread? I was looking in the service manual and it didn't say. Thanks again!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Mike Lang Well, you know they are going to be opposite otherwise you wouldn't' be able to turn the linkage and have it move. In person you just look at the threads to see the direction.

[@knightlangelot5238]

TwoWheelObsession thank you sir! I knew one is right hand one is left hand. I just didn't know which is which. Thanks for the tip (looking at thread) but only if it's visible like this.

Great video!! Thanks man!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

No problem!

Can someone help me find the 2001 r1 shift linkage. I'm curious how it would feel compared to stock. Thanks art

[@D-Almighty]

Very good 👍👍👍

[@Its_steve1217]

I have an issue with my bike my I noticed this morning on my way to work but my shifter is at a fallen position when I go to first gear I have to reach down with my foot and pull it up in order to shift up do you think my linkage is to loose or something i ride a 2004 suzuki intruder 800 plz help me out and thank you

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Obviously something has come loose or broken, if anything changed. Take a look.

[@Its_steve1217]

TwoWheelObsession thx for your help a good that holds the shifter had come loose and fell off I replaced it and it shifts fine now thx again

[@arturofuentes2896]

Is the brake pedal similarly adjustable?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Arturo Fuentes No

[@geoffreyking1]

What if the shaft does not rotate? My bolts are loose - tried vice grips and still couldn't get it to move at all. Kz1000

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Sorry I have no idea what your linkage is like.

[@geoffreyking1]

Just got it figured out. It is the same as yours. Just had put it in a WD-40 soak for a while. Thanks

[@xjr13ooi]

Why your bike didn't get dirty...?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

I don't understand the question

[@xjr13ooi]

Was a compliment , been follow your every video, and your bike always looks so clean.... you must be washing it before every shoot..

[@TwoWheelObsession]

xjr13ooi Ah thank you :)
