Adjusting gear foot lever
Discussion
Hi guys.
Completely new to motorbikes. Recently bought a new Yamaha xsr125 and I need to adjust the gear change pedal. It’s awfully high up and I’m having to turn my foot far to upwards to change up.
Done the usual go to YouTube and check how to adjust but I don’t seem to have the typical rod you can use to adjust the pedal so is there any other way?

Hmm...unless I've missed something, it would seem that the only adjustment is to take the lever off the gearbox and move it around by one spline. Just like the old days, in fact!
Funnily enough I was just coming on to say that. I think I would undo that blot to then turn the lever. It’s on bloody tight though, little bugger.

Edit: If you're anywhere near Thirsk, pop round & I'll do it for ya!

littleredrooster - thank you for all your help and your offer of doing it if I was closer. I managed to get it done, it was a little stiff with it being new so had to put a screwdriver in the small gap to slide it off the spindle.
Ritchie335is - thanks for the tip too, that was helpful.
