Shifter Mod

[range rat]

When I stand up on the pegs the heal of my size 10's would make contact with the heal shifter arm. So I did a little bending and now that does not happen.

Nice work. Do you have any problem with normal shifting?

fyi: if the shifter annoys you, a hammerhead brand cr dirtbike shift lever will fit right on as well. (foldable tip/red is nice ) I havent done that as of yet (prob won't) but experience from the grom. i did have to move my CT shifter a bit, rotate the front UP one spline to be able to get my boot under it comfortably. drops the heel shifter as well. had to loosen the footpeg mount quite a bit to move out of the way.

No problem shifting. I thought about a dirt bike shifter but decided to see if I could make the stock shifter a little better. I don't use the heal shifter much so the dirt bike is another good option.

Its a flip flop shifter, the majority of these are sold in countries where flip flops are the shoe wear, family of three or four. Try tapping down on the back one with your toe, thats how Ive done it on ct bikes for 20+ years!

Looks like a good fix, could be factory.

Has anyone swapped it out for a dirt bike shifter or hammerhead? Looking for a specific model or example of what would work.

Thanks

.. id also recommend a shifter support bracket/bearing from HR. it def helps. that shift shaft is absurdly long.

yup.

Thank you for the suggestion, is this one that you have tried? I ask because ours have the nut going in perpendicular to the shaft and these go in up and down vertically, and ours are raised to sit above the shaft and these are level and appear to angle downward. I assume that there is clearance for the nut position to both sit and to tighten and for angling these upward to get the right position? Also, I’ll probably try and find one with a rubber texture to save my shoes. I thought about just hacking the back off, but it looks like it’s a $136 OEM part.

ive used that shifter, it will fit. wont tear up a boot, i don't ride in tennis shoes so cant comment.

I have an IMS arriving tomorrow that works on the Grom. I'm hoping for a good outcome.

 

[G19Tony]

The IMS I ordered didn't fit at all. While I had the footpegs down, I moved the heel shifter up. I'm going to take it for a spin and see how it feels.

Rotating the shifter up worked well for me, that's the easy solution. I think you'll like it.

 

[m in sc]

i have the shiter rotated one spline as well. Im going to have to dig out my old shift shaft support i bought and see if it fits. i cant see why it wont.

 

[G19Tony]

I rotated the heel up, and it was easier to shift. I'll give it a little more time, before I decide to lop it off.

 

[r80rt]

I rotated the front up and toe shift only, I can still use the heel if I need to though.
