Adjusting shifter position
Ok, noob question #39: When I am wearing boots, I literally have to jam my foot between the peg and shifter to up-shift. It looks like the shifter lever can be adjusted via loosening the allen bolt. Is that there is all to it? I can't see if there are splines on the shaft. Also, does it require levering out the shifter from the shaft? Or forcing anything?
I know much of the above sounds like someone who has never held a screw driver....I am not that person (very mechanically inclined)...I just don't want to break anything this early in the game. : )

Yes, loosen the allen bolt then yank the shifter all the way off the shaft. You may want to mark the current position with a pencil or something for reference. Just carefully realign the splines in desired position. I had to give mine a light whack to get it all the way on. Use some Blue Loctite on the allen bolt.
