I have an 09 klx 250s. Finally got my riding gear. Sat on the bike, ya it won't start. lol. My MX boots have too high of a toe making it hard to get my foot under the shifter. I can do it, but i gotta think about it. I see it was an allen key screw that looks like I can adjust it up alittle. Can I do this, or will it cause shifting problems.

I did the same as EMS - it took a couple of rides to get used to but works a treat. Potential problem with it in that it sticks out quite far, so installing a brake-snake to prevent it being folded back is a good idea.

Well, i went out to try to move it up some....... Ya, i found the only tight bolt on the bike. Ended up rounding the head of the bolt. Not too bad yet, I might be able to get it out with some heat I hope. This bike is already starting to **** me off.

Moving the stock lever up one or two splines worked for me with my boots. It feels different at first but you will get used to it. If you use a box end wrench you won't have any problems with rounded off fasteners. I don't know if you know this, but you have to take the bolt completely out of the shift lever before you can take the shift lever off the splines. Good luck . ![Smile](https://www.kawasakiforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I moded my shifter to be held on by a nut and bolt. The first time I removed the shifter bolt I noticed it was stretched and bent, right from the factory. I drilled out the threads and put in a longer better grade bolt with a nylock nut. A bit more fiddly but the shifter is clamped onto the shift shaft a lot better, no chance of stripping the threads in the shifter because there aren't any.
