OK, This is an equipment interface problem. With some operator error...
I ride an RT. It had a peg lowering kit on it that moves the pegs down & forward. Well, I purchased a pair of Combat Touring Light boots & first time out, could not upshift more than one gear. The boot is so much thicker than my old Tourmaster boots that I could not pivot my foot down enough to reset for that next gear.
After riding a few times, I figured out how to use the seam to shift, but that is just a crutch. I want to shift normally!
I took the lowering kit off & the problem got worse, I could not shift at all... THat was fun...
So, I am going to put the lowering kit back on. What can I do to be able to shift this bike properly again? I would also like to be able to wear my thin boots, but will ride the CTL's most of the time.
I do not have an extended shift lever, would that be the best place to start? Or, are they a waste & I should just adjust the lever up. How much should I move it?
Thanks!
