I originally had the gilles on the sp set at roughly the same settings as the oem ones. But as you can see from the pics....the sp shift lever is further along the bike than the one on my standard blade. This means that it puts it very close to the toe tip on the sidestand. If I have the foot peg forward like the oem one my foot can catch it instead of the lever, and can almost get wedged between them too!! So I've had the pegs set back for ages now to avoid this. But this isn't as comfy and it's harder changing gear because of the bigger gap. I've messed about with the settings but it's the original forward one I need. So the only thing I can think of doing is cutting the toe tip off the side stand?!? Unless anyone has any other ideas. Cheers
Is there a way to angle the whole lot up a bit. So the shift lever points up at the back more, then adjust the angle of the foot rest to suit? The QS lever can be adjusted with all the additional bits that come with it...nuts and washers etc.
Surely the toe peg on the gear lever shifts forward and back aswell? Don't you just set that to the same as OEM and then the footpeg gets moved to suit?
Or yeah, cut the toe tip off the side stand......just make sure you're on the Sp on Sunday when you turn up at the Fiddle. I can't wait to see how she tackles getting the stand down without to nob on it Video camera at the ready
I'm not sure the toe peg on the gear lever is adjustable @CharlieR85 it doesn't look like it is. I've only tried the main part that actually moves easily. I'm not mechanically minded enough to mess about with the rest. I had a look on the Internet regarding the same issue before I posted and the problem was mentioned by a few people on sportsbikes with the same gilles set up. Usually taller riders.....several had ended up cutting the toe tip off to solve it which is why I mentioned it. You can see how close it is in these pics.
I'm pretty sure the whole setup can be adjusted to suit. Get round to Di's gaff and get her old man on the case.
Lol he's too busy hoovering and ironing It's in for service next week....I'll pester them down there Just measured the sp shift lever movement required to engage and it's nearly 5mm more than the oem one! So that's adding to having to lift my foot more than I should have too shifting as well. Black ones in to be stripped as well to try and find a nasty intermittent fault fed up
I've got the same setup @Lozzy... try flipping your translogic rod to the other side.. I expect that will solve your selecting issue.. can't help you with your huge feet though
I think it probably does move, looking at the groove in the bracket it seems it would be able to move rearward and upward along that track. That would make your issue worse though. Shit design if you can't move that away from the sidestand.
Is that not a hex head in the end of the toe peg for a 6mm allen key? See if it let's you move it along that track.
Looking at the rear view of it I don't think you can move it from that end block. Frazzles is in the same position. Maybe it could come forward towards my foot but that's even worse as is closes the gap even smaller. I think the other riders on the net had tried most things which is why they'd ended up cutting the toe tip off. You can see how little room there is for my foot between lever and toe tip even with the setting far back . The gap on the oem one..
I’ve got a solution, but it might not be the best? ship them out to me, and I’ll keep them. You’re welcome seriously though, could you move the shifter arm to the next hole position to bring it up? Or shorten the shifter arm (I can do that for you ) Also, nippers a dab hand with that camera!
You must be able to pivot the gear shift around its mount...taking one or more spacers out of the QS shift rod will create the space to pivot
Had the same problem with gilles tooling on my 14 SP , first i try to move a bit out the shift pedal (better but was not the final solution) than i cut the side stand push bit and let it weld on the bottom (near the feet) and it´s working since than.
