This seems to be a theme. Haven't taken a picture with the V4 and C7 together yet, as just got the bike in Nov. and car was already in storage.
Wow.... that's an awesome garage!!
Hi cruzin2 I followed with interest you rear set install, its not something I intend to do at present but I hope you don't mind but I have a question about how did you adjust the gear lever height, I have tried to do it on my 2018 V4 but all ive done is start to round off the nut 10 in the diagram, I just cant work out how to adjust the height.
Do I need to remove the lower fairing, some say I have to remove the rear set and undo bolt 11 and then turn the part 12, is there away that I can just undo the locking nut 10 and then just turn the long spindle 9 to adjust it.
Any help is much appreciated as at present my lever is too high and I'm missing gears and I need to lower it down, regards Bootneck
Sure no problem. A couple of things going on here. The only adjustment you have with your stock rear sets is this link 9 that affects the angle of the lever and not position of the lever.
If this is what you are trying to adjust then I would definitely remove the lower fairing so you have clear line of sight to part 9. You have to get a wrench on the end of part 9 and the nut, part 10, to break it free. This is called a jam nut which is only there to keep this part 9 from rotating. There's locktite on everything so this is tricky. Also, I would recommend you get a set of skinny wrenches which can help with this. Here's a picture of what i'm talking about.
I track both- here in Michigan as well as Mid-Ohio . . . and of course I drive and ride the Tail of the Dragon (once each per year).
Awesome. hope to see you out there. I run with threeballsracing.com for my car and I run through the mid-o school or sportbiketracktime on the bike.
Thanks mate Yes all I want to do is lower the gear lever angle, sorry I didn't explain myself clearly in my last post, , I will try and get some skinny spanners if you think that will help. sorry for the following stupid question, but do I just put a spanner on part 9 to hold it tight and then put force on nut 10 to loosen it to allow me to adjust the lever angle, once nut 10 is broken free I take it all I need to do to lower the lever is screw in / out part 9 and then re tighten nut 10 to hold it in place, I only ask as I put a lot of force on nut 10 in the past and started to round off the nut and I thought I was going to bend something so I stopped, I just want to make sure before I attempt it again, thanks for all your help buddy
