I picked up my Classic 350 in New Orleans, Louisiana USA, to ride it back home to Atlanta Georgia USA, about 550 miles. I got on the bike and immediately asked the mechanic to move the gear shifter up and was told it wasn't possible. I rode it 300 miles around New Orleans, did the first service at a friend’s house, and rode it 550 miles home. Wish I had seen this earlier. I've uploaded couple videos if you're interested. I am new at this so, keep that in mind.

Just picked mine up from NOLA last weekend, Moto Julia 👌🏻

[@MotoSoup]

@@nicholasaire5451 Yep Moto Julia, honestly, I had a difficult and disappointing experience with them. But, I understand others have had a different and positive take. I have a few videos of my trip on my channel.

[@Tonyv1951]

Brilliant. Just got the bike yesterday and can't get my boot under the lever. Thought it would be the usual easy job, but ----- NO! Just like you, I could hardly believe it when I discovered the 'blockage'. Anyway - thanks for the easy fix.

[@peterriffart8014]

Hi, I just followed your instruction after having seen Warro‘s video. Can only say that it worked out smoothly. I didn’t have to remove the frame bolt. It’s quite easy to move down the footrest sufficiently with your foot if you get a grip on the bike for your hand to pull in the opposite direction (i.e. upwards). Thanks a lot!!

[@FPSKelly]

I'm surprised this isn't more of a widespread issue/complaint. I took one out for a testride and figured it must've been installed incorrectly. Finally purchased one and found the same "issue" -- so thanks for the video, I've changed mine now and as you said: GAME CHANGER.

[@RidingTheGoblin]

Game changing gear changer... position!

[@Tonyv1951]

Maybe they have smaller feet in India or ride in flip flops. My size none (45) boots won't go near to slipping under.

[@luciusthe]

Had exactly the same problem ! Thank you !

[@markbrowne9933]

I adjusted mine when i first got my bike and never had an issue with it touching the frame. It just came off easily and its much better to change gears with it adjusted up 1 notch. Keep up the great work with the videos :)

[@RidingTheGoblin]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@AryaInk]

The thumbnail was hillarious

[@RidingTheGoblin]

Cheers! Was seriously contemplating using it…

[@vincentperez3160]

Been having this same issue with literally the same bike. Will definitely try this. Thank you for the concise yet thorough vid

[@mrmurray4374]

Hahahaha that last part was bang on! I actually had this out burst myself when I got the bike and went to fix it..

[@blearyview2254]

Brilliant, I have a Classic with same problem but have just got used to the way it is but I am going to give this a go tonight👍👍👍 Thanks for this info. You a funny guy btw 🤣🤣🤣 and should make more vids as they are so good.

[@RidingTheGoblin]

Glad I could help, and thanks for the feedback 👍🤘😎

[@jongsecco7015]

I have changed it using an "heel&toe" brand new lever 🌝

[@pistou31]

Thanks a lot !!! I have changed my gear lever thanks to your video !

[@DoomNedwob]

Hellooo, strangely, when I went to adjust mine, I pulled it so far along the shaft then tilted it upwards slightly and it just slipped off really easily. I don't think anyone at the dealers had whacked the footpeg with sledgehammer to bend it out the way 😂 I guess I just got lucky. A game changer for sure though adjusting the lever 👍

[@Tonyv1951]

I think the manufacturing tolerances may not be all they might be, hence your lever slipped off and mine came up against the foot peg support. :)))

[@DoomNedwob]

@@Tonyv1951 I guess I just got lucky 😁 It made all the difference though.

[@mrkamruach]

Yep, 2022 Classic 350 reborn was just as you said. But, easy to loosen that frame piece. Thanks for the tip.

[@RidingTheGoblin]

No worries, glad it was helpful 😎

[@5150show]

Excellent. Had to sub

[@davericketts9101]

Yep, I adjusted mine up one notch but undid the front bolt too and took it right out. The job then becomes so much easier because you don`t need to stand on the footrest to remove the gear lever. In the end though, I ordered a heel / toe shifter and I would never go back. I`ve kept it for when I sell it.

[@RidingTheGoblin]

The heel toe shifter sounds like a good plan...

[@davericketts9101]

@@RidingTheGoblin Yes, a great improvement to the original gear lever and you can still use it as a toe only, if you prefer not to use the heel part but I found it easy to adapt. They fit them to the Meteor, I believe.

[@motoscreenzllc4433]

Thank you! Had same problem... thanks for the solution

[@Hamsa3600]

yeahhhhh that s the way bro .... got mad with my boots so tight ...

[@frankwomack7483]

Thank you so much for this video. I was really struggling With my size 11.5 boots as you say "a real game changer"

[@RidingTheGoblin]

Great to hear you found the video useful 👍

[@the_good_lad]

That was funny, you could also get the heel and toe gear lever as replacement, far easier to shift with that.

[@RidingTheGoblin]

Thanks! Yes, I might... they look like the way to go

[@stevesanelli90]

You’re damn funny! Classic stiff on a classic motorcycle 😂😉

[@muhaimein]

Hey there, thanks for the instruction. Are you still keeping the clutch in the elevated position or had issues with the setup? Any insights?

[@apoorvjoshi9265]

Get a heel and toe shifter. Comes standard in India.

[@elwood62]

My son bought one of these last year, I rode it home and had a real hard time with the shifting. I bought a meteor and had the same issue. Do they ride with flip-flops in India? The funny thing is that I adjusted mine and then when it was in the shop for service they put it back in the original position.

[@RidingTheGoblin]

That's amazing that they would put the gear lever back to the original position... no one had better touch mine!

[@fiysalmx5268]

❤❤❤❤

[@Coastriderscotland]

Just loosen the lower bolts and remove the one bolt and stand on the peg to pull off the lever, no need for all the levering 😂😊

[@mrmurray4374]

Could you do a video at some point on chain tightening please mate?

[@RidingTheGoblin]

That's bound to come up... been looking at the chain...

[@diegogonma1983]

Great! Congrats!!! How is the charge capacity of the RE blackcommuter pannier? Thanks. Greetings from Uruguay

[@RidingTheGoblin]

The pannier is great, I can fit my jacket, or even my laptop. Very handy.

[@noneone2u]

Great video. What are the new boots you've bought. Look like what I need. Safe riding to you.

[@RidingTheGoblin]

Thanks! The boots are called Forma Adventure Low - they're super comfy, easy to get on... here's a link: www.formaboots.com.au/products/adventure-low-brown

[@seanmack4552]

Hey mate how do you find these at a 100km out of town? Thinking of getting one but hear lots saying that 80-90 is sweet spot.

[@RidingTheGoblin]

Yeah, my experience was that 100 was working hard… don’t tell anyone, but I now have a Harley, and it’s so powerful in comparison, I really like the Classic 350, but maybe check out one of the bigger REs if you’re planning on sitting at 100… hope that helps

[@seanmack4552]

@@RidingTheGoblin cheers mate appreciate it

[@Simlatio]

Even more baffling than the design flaw is why they assume you'll drive it out of the dealership barefoot.

[@mockbattles]

Heel-Toe shifter.

[@RidingTheGoblin]

Does seem like a sensible idea

[@souvikprofile]

which country? Indian model don't come with that type gear leaver.... I have same model... I have full gear leaver ..

[@RidingTheGoblin]

Australia... interesting that the Indian model has the heel/toe shifter...

[@souvikprofile]

@@RidingTheGoblin yes... from the begining of the company in india... half gear leaver never comes with any RE model...

[@daveminer9217]

Yep. Mine just.....barely goes on and off the way it was from factory. Try to adjust it up, or down and the peg bar is in the way. Best bet would be to take it of and put the grinder to it. Only problem then it will eventually rust and look like shit. Best bet is to get a factory spec toe and heal shifter. Caution: i tried one from Amazon, it was way to wide to fit on the shaft with the peg bar so damn close. If you get one be sure to get one from Enfield, most others will not clear the peg bar. The engineers really missed the boat on this! Three centimeters, and problem fixed....🙄🙄🙄👎

[@RidingTheGoblin]

I’ve been pondering a toe and heal shifter… could be the way to go

[@daveminer9217]

@@RidingTheGoblin I would suggest getting one from Enfield. It will cost a few bucks, but hey...its a hobby. Best of luck!
