Sorry my brother and I share this account and he decided it was a 5 speed when in fact it is a 4 speed.
I went ahead and adjusted the shift lever down a big which made it a little better...
I still am having trouble getting my boot in there but I do have the big rubber peg protectors and big rubber shift lever protector. Perhaps installing some less bulky ones will leave more room for my boot to fit in without my foot being angled down all funny.
I appreciate everyone taking the time to speak about this. The bike is already providing some much needed fun in the barn with the wrenches and chrome polish
