Gear shifter adjustment

I heard that there is a way to adjust the position of the gear shifter to make a wider angle for you toe to get in between it and the foot peg. How do I do this for a 2002 Suzuki VZ800 Marauder?

The VZ 800 ,has a linkage system ,it can be adjsted to suit your needs .Firstly , your linkage attaches to the front foot lever.on the other end the linkage attaches to the actual gear box.Its this part that you need to adjust ,Undo the bolt that holds the linkage bracket to the gearbox spline. slide the bracket of the spline .undo all the adjusting screws on the linkage rod ,position the gearbox linkage unit to the required angle you need to position the foot lever to the popsition you want and the adjust the linkage rod to suit the distance between the garebox liinkage unit and foot change.

Shifter & Brake pedal Specifications: I cannot get my toe under the shifter to do a toe lift shift, is there a specified distance between toe lift and floor board? Likewise, my brake pedal is so...

You didn't say what year and model your bike is but on all H-D bike the shifter position is adjustable. Take the bolt out and pull the shifiter off the splines. Mark it before you do. Change the angle up or down one spline and try it. If it's a Big Twin, sometimes you can get a bit of adjustment at the shifter reach rod as well. As for the brake pedal, there isn't a lot of adjustment but you can look at the return stop. Sometimes the bikes are equipped with a bolt that acts as a stop for when the pedal returns. Depends on the model of the bike.

Good Luck

I misplaced my ktm adjustable rear set manual, how...

the gear shifter and the brake pedal should be set even with the footpegs.. the same height so when you rest your foot on the peg it should be right on top of each.. hope that I could help

No 5th gear

Do you mean that the shifter moves normally, and no gear engages, or the shifter won't go into the 5th gear position?
If the shifter won't go there, its probably a mis-adjusted linkage.
If it will go there, but you don't "feel" it go into gear, it could be that the ball and socket linkage rod for 5th gear has popped loose(this is common on higher mileage VWs with worn shifter parts) I recommend an entire shift bushing set be installed and then the proper adjustments can be made... Hope this helps...;-)
