Shift linkage

Okay, I have small feet, no comments necessary. I still need to wedge my riding boot between the foot peg and the shifter. Very awkward, especially when you consider the fact that the bike is already tall. Riding in traffic is more work than it should be. Is the adjustment of the shifter easy and does it make shifting easier?

So far I love the bike and I can't wait to get the setup dialed in.

I adjust the front and rear suspension to their lightest setting, a little mushy but better than it was, I think I'll move about 25% up from the lowest setting.

Anyone buying a new bike check all your adjustable setting before you ride. Especially the tire pressure!!

The shift linkage adjustment is very easy, but be careful of raising the shift lever up too much because it can cause problems with up shifts. You will also want to take the slop out of the throttle cables. Be sure to check that your battery terminals are tight.
