yea i dont use boots. K i'll see if i can bend it out a little.
 
be careful !! ... if it isnt steel.... i WILL snap... i learned that the hard way ... be VERY EZ when bending ... just do a little at a time
 
A word of advice, dont bend it. Its white metal, which is very porous and runs a risk of cracking when heated. Just make sure you have it on the splines at the right level so you dont rub it on the stator cover during the upshift, or upshifts will be a total pain. If you leave it where it should be, with the bolt in its groove on the spline, you will still have plenty to grab with your riding boots. Honestly when its installed right, it feels no different than the shifter when its installed on the dirtbikes, which worked well for me since I came from them to the quads, and always had a problem with the stock warrior shifter especially when wearing riding boots. Just put it on where it belongs and get a few rides in with it there. You'll get use to it, and it will become normal feeling.
 
im ordering my shifter this coming monday...upon inspection of my sprockets i noticed the A-HOLE that owned this before me welded the front sprocket on the shaft.. is this going to require a lot of work????
 
To fix it right, yeah, that's a lot of work. The right way to fix it would be to split the cases and replace the output shaft. Or you could half ass it like the last guy did - grind the weld off, replace the sprocket, and weld the new one on.
 
the only reason i mentioned this is becouse i wanted to change my sprockets.......it sucks but i dont wanna half ass nothin im going to have to do it the right way...
 
Dang why would he do that? And is it like a solid weld all the way around the shaft or just a tack weld?
