Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager simplified Shift Lever adjustment.

From the factory, my shift lever was too high in the front and too low in the rear. Here's a way you can adjust the shift lever height in minutes for the perfect position to suit your needs.

Thank you for the video. Just bought a 2013 Vulcan nomad 1700 and the previous owner is 6’9”! Needless to say your helpful video saved me! Now my 5’11” body can enjoy shifting again.

No worries Dave, glad I was able to help.

Thanks Frank, I post these videos to help other folks with the same vehicles. I've used KZbin often looking for ideas and help myself 🙂

Had mine in for a crank sensor. Could not get my toe under the shifter. I needed to point out to the mechanic that he did not line up the dots. Look closely, you will see them

Mine had the toe up so high, I could slide half my foot under it, that wasn't working out so well. So, moving it one tooth in the spline is just what I needed. Thanks for the comment 🙂

[@Nervedraz]

did you move the tooth in the spline clockwise or counterclockwise to accomplish your ideal position?

[@tanktankerson1042]

Hmm, I really don't remember but it put the pivot point right at the top which told me maybe they didn't have it in the correct position.. It made a huge difference for me though for my size 11 shoe.
