I bent heel shifter out of way,and bent the front shifter in as well as moving it up as you described. My feet are too big for the way it was, and I am going to ride this morning to see if it helps before traffic gets too busy.I personally hated the gear change lever so I cut off the "heel" part and moved the front up one spline on the shaft. MUCH BETTER!
I ended up driving about a hundred miles to get my LRD back in April and called my local Honda dealer (3 miles away) about the recall. They weren't aware of the recall but ordered the part and got it within two weeks. Honda pays them 1/2 hour of labor for the install so they were happy to do it.Got letter and recall card from Honda for both my CT125s for the shifter. Called dealer who I purchased from and let them know. They didn't know about it and said they would get back to me. We will see.
I asked for the old one back but they said they had to keep it. My old one was very wabbly even though it was tightened as much as you could. New one is solid.I have the recall letter, will get my new one. but i'm just going to weld up the original and keep the replacement as a spare. OG one works just fine for me.
I'm going to take mine in and get the new shifter so at least I'll have a replacement.just take the stock one off and have it welded. seriously, its longer to take it off than actually fix the issue. then cut the heel off of it if you want.
My dealer wouldn’t do that, “safety recall” they said…. YmmvI'm going to take mine in and get the new shifter so at least I'll have a replacement.
Honestly it's a Honda so I'm not surprised.I still haven’t gotten a letter yet but I’m not to concerned about it right now. My left leg broke before the shifter did.
