Take out #36 and pull #27 off #18. Put it back offset one spline clockwise. Loosen lock nuts #37 and #34(left hand thread). Rotate #29 to fine tune the position and tighten the lock nuts.
The rear brake is not as adjustable. If you have the Richland Rick peg lowering kit, it will include a spacer. Otherwise, you will be forever pigeon toed and either have a too high pedal or have to do surgery on the master cylinder pushrod #5 in the last fiche.
When I needed to changed mine as a result of my peg lowering kit, I put a mark on the shift mechanism so that I could return it to stock or know when I had moved it one spline. Simple and quick process as outlined by Pat. For the amount of adjustment I needed/wanted, in retrospect I did not need to move the mechanism one spline, there was enough adjustablity in the adjuster to work for me. I tried it both ways because it was such an easy and fast thing to do.
just did a little shift lever adjustments myself - - the only thing i found tricky was keeping the whole linkage stable when trying to loosen/tighten the jamb nuts 34 & 37.
Used some needle-nose vise grips to grab onto linkage above top nut and below bottom nut. One have one pair of needle-nose vise gribs though; two would have made it easier . . . had to work the rubber housing out of the way a bit . . .
If you're looking to change your brake pads, but aren't sure what's involved- look no further. This is a pad replacement on an '02 DL1000, which has 20,000 miles and probably the original pads.

It finally happened. I was about half a mile from home tonight when one of my throttle cables simply stopped working. Naturally, it was the one that opens the throttle, so I ended up pushing my DL1000 home. Boy was that "fun."
My "warning" was that the throttle got sticky for a few minutes...
I adjusted my cams for the first time 12 months ago and wanted to recheck them seeing it was the first time I had done them (2014 DL1000). And thought they sounded slightly ticky. So when had to clean air filter after a three day adv ride, took the opportunity to check them. Front were fine...
I recently installed the Rostra “Global Cruise” electronic cruise control system on my ‘06 DL1000. It works great, and for anyone else who’s interested, here’s the rundown. I warn you now; it’s lengthy and detailed, and I am in no way a professional cruise control system installer, so take this...
Ok. Am I the only one who finds the instructions in the manual about getting to the air cleaner frustratingly vague when it says “ Remove fuel line”. It looks like a clip that you just pinch the inside piece and it comes off, but no matter how much I squeeze the inside blue piece the fuel...
