I hope you realize how much your FZ videos are appreciated, you have a video on every single adjustment, replacement, or modification I’ve wanted to do on my FZ-09. Quality stuff, honestly

[@DEWAGE83]

I LOVE that whenever I have a question about something for my bike you have a video for it. Much appreciated my friend.

[@marceloecalves]

That’s a good tip. Didn’t know about this. Just got my mt-09 and found it difficult to lift the foot to brake.

[@keybarbarosa]

Just a note that anytime you adjust break lever you need to check also the brake light sensor if it's not affected badly by your changes.

[@LoopsFroott]

Just did this shifter and brake on my 2023 XSR 900 with the help of your video. Thank you very much sir.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Nice work!

[@andrewkitchenuk]

Bought a pair of big adventure boots yesterday and needed to adjust the gear lever on my Africa Twin 1100 to be able to shift up. Was reasonably sure how to do it but this vid confirmed it. Cheers. 👍

[@cfvgd]

Hello. Just installed a quickshifter. Was a littlebit confused by the treads. This video helped me. Thank you!

[@JuiceBanger1]

Thanks, im going to do this now. Didnt know they were adjustable.

[@CopperRed3]

Just adjusted shift pedal. Wow, now I can get my boot under it! Thanks from a new 2015 FJ-09 owner.

[@ericrhinehart6055]

Good brake adjustment video, going to do mine right now! I did however notice the little time jump between here's how it goes to look it's done. I fully expect to need a third hand and more time! LOL

[@Kuj]

awesome vid. Having size 13 motorcycle boots I was messing up my upshifts constantly as I could barely get my boot in there without going straight pointing down and when I left it in there my boot didn't let it drop low enough to allow me to upshift again.

[@wheelie-gonzales]

just what I needed to do to my shifter on my mt 09. Thanks

[@garysquared4855]

You got a video for everything. Much appreciated. Factory setting was way to high for me

[@soll87]

Very nice. I had problem to shift and brake. After i feel awesome. BUT when u do adjust the brake u cant do it to mutch, i adjusted it to motch ant the brake light got stuck. So after u do that. Make a hard brake test on the rear brake before u go out in traffic .

[@jacksonuriah]

Just installed the quickshifter, the instructions says it has to be 257-258mm in length, if I adjust it would this cause any issues? I would like to drop the shifter some

[@BepSquare]

Thanks. Works on the XSR700 as well.

[@scvdad]

excellent just what i needed to do!

[@dodgeskitz87]

It's slightly more complicated than you show on the brake side. The spring moving behind the rubber boot controls the brake light activation. Moving the leaver down can result in the brake light staying on. You should have showed adjusting the brake light activation!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

The stock actuation point of the light is roughly 4x what I showed, right to the limit of the threads. But I can certainly show turning the sensor nut to adjust it as well, thanks for the tip, that'll go up tomorrow :)

[@MrFoxfire510]

I loosened both nuts off for the shift lever but when trying to turn the rod it does not go clockwise or counterclockwise .. Edit: Has Puig rubber footpegs installed by previous owner, not sure if that affects anything. Thinking it would not? Edit #2: My dad suggested a small spray of wd-40 on both ends where the lock nuts threads are. And after 15 minutes I tried again and voila, the rod rotated nicely. Thank you!

[@rscar5]

that was easy ,love your videos, great tips.

[@DEGMOTOV]

Thank you so much! I was looking for this!

[@scottnomate865]

Thank you mate. Helped me dramatically.

[@ravenshield56]

What about for the quick shifter? I’ve been told not to touch the bar, however just using the top nut to take the linkage out and alter by a tooth gives me TOO much adjustment

[@Dustin6980]

hey i was wondering if you could post the link of the end bar mirrors you have on your fz09...i have a 2014 fz09 but hate the stock mirrors

[@brendantuomey3910]

just did mine and u ain't kidding world of difference

[@TwoWheelObsession]

\O/

[@gustavguerro]

Random, but what seat is this? I have a 2014 FZ-09 and the factory seat is garbage. Thanks!

[@lupoz77]

Great video! Thanks for the infos

[@KelsS1k]

going to do this to my bike, because im always in Neutral going from 1st to 2nd And i kick it up hard its a huge wtf moment lol

[@JRUF40]

I tried adjusting on my xsr900 with a quickshifter, but when I try to loosen the screw, the entire turnbuckle rotates with it.

[@callmekurt13]

when I try adjusting the rod (on 2 different bikes), I find the shifts become worse - sometimes it won't even click. So I have defaulted to adjusting at the spline instead - it's more of a macro adjustment, which stinks, but it doesn't adversely affect the shifting quality. Any reason why I'm having these issues?

[@aaronoosterhoff5449]

Hey Bryan, I'm all leg here so when I sit on the bike my shins are almost parallel with the road and toes pointing down, I've ran out of adjustment on the fine and course adjustment for the shifter, I think I need to order a longer shifter linkage rod? have you heard of such a thing hope that makes sense

[@Theorangeman.]

Just take off the top collar and move it around the splines

[@clivewinters7479]

🇬🇧Very well presented, most useful.

[@DVDsNFC]

Most helpful thanks.

[@sergeantsodom6969]

Can’t find out any info on if I can do this with the quick shifter- can’t find any ‘dos and donts’ on adjusting their quick shifter as I know you can mess it up if you do it wrong

[@TwoWheelObsession]

No you can’t

[@sergeantsodom6969]

TwoWheelObsession Bollocks... cheers anyway!

[@BAHRAMCR]

have you lowered the foot pegs on your FJR or installed highway pegs on them ?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

No, it's not a cruiser LOL Seriously though lowering them is not advisable at all, it immediately eats clearance. I hate highway pegs especially on a GenIII FJR, the fairing digs in to your leg if you try and put them forward. Wrong bike for that IMO.

[@motogromer8703]

Great video!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

And Dan can't wait too watch it too. And comment LOL - thanks for being a super fan :)

[@archico01]

Love your vids!

[@Dgall78]

Thanks for doing this vid.

[@osamaabdulla4435]

Awesome video bro Keep it up

[@gbmwscooters]

Great vid, Thanks

[@SlickRick50979]

I adjusted both my brack and shift lever But when I did Check Engine light came on has that happened to you and what should I do? FYI I have a 16 FJR1300A

[@TwoWheelObsession]

That's the first I have ever heard of such a thing, I'm not even convinced it's related. There was a big issue with your sidestand switch, that would throw a code. That's about it.

[@SlickRick50979]

TwoWheelObsession is there a way to clear the check engine light with out going to the Dealership? FYI thanks for reply

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Not without the appropriate OBDII reader. If that's the issue you still need the updated part anyway.

[@SlickRick50979]

TwoWheelObsession sounds like a warranty issue I hope thank you

[@Skyerzen]

How often do you lubricate the for control pivots?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Usually at an oil change I'll at least inspect. It completely depends on your environment how often you need to do it.

[@Skyerzen]

gotcha. one more question. what grease do you use? I've been using mobil 1 synthetic red grease on everything on my bike.

[@christophercederlof2105]

Funny thing is.. My yamaha dealer says it cannot be adjusted.. Great vid, ima prove em wrong!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Step 1 - don't listen to dealers LOL

[@MegaDraag]

I need to lower the shift lever on my MT-09 '17. How do I do this exactly with the QS already installed? Where do I have to pay attention?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

You don’t have much play with the quickshifter it is what it is.

[@MegaDraag]

Hey thanks for the quick reply. Alternatively, can I just move the shift shaft linkage resp. shifter arm down a notch and lower the whole thing? What about the pedal itself? Can I lower it too?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

As long as the shaft length is in spec you can jump a tooth. You'll probably find it too large a move though.

[@Merkaba954]

I have to do it with my bike. My boss are so stiff I can't bend my foot down far enough to get under the shifter

[@spambunny123]

Thankyou

[@t44556688]

Helpful thank you

[@bud_zdorovim]

thank you

[@saw6463]

Brilliant thank u

[@kellyj5389]

Love the videos

[@ShooterMedic1818]

Great man ty

[@ganatshii]

Is it the same if you have ABS?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Yes - that has nothing to do with it

[@ganatshii]

TwoWheelObsession Great, thanks!

[@joewarcupinhull]

wheres your quickshifter? thought they was standard on 17 mt09s?

[@Rubuz]

JoeWarcupInHull, it is...on MT09, but not on FZ09.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+JoeWarcupInHull it's optional in the US. It's on order, it'll be another month or so.

[@blunt785]

7:02 haha

[@AlexanderTheGrateful]

low tier bike lmao!! my panigale comes with those metal pegs, I'm pretty sure the HP4 comes with the metal foot pegs as well..

[@nat2r]

moron
