I got some new gear today and my boots will not go under my gear shifter without me being VERY uncomfortable. I attempted to raise the gear shifter, and dont even think I did and if I did it was unnoticable. It is a 05 Raptor 660. Can anyone explain how they solved this problem. I can get my toe under the shifter, but just the tiny sole part, not my whole toe. There was a little silvery screw next to the shifter with a nut on top and bottom and a circular thing in the middle. I loosened the nuts and twisted the screw thing but it ended up coming out the the brase at the bottom. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!!!!!!!

 

i had the same problem with my boots, its so uncomtfortable to ride. someone told me that the boots just need to be worn in and for me to get used to it. i also have an 05'.

 

I figured out how to raise it. I had to take the shifter off at the shaft and turn it up a couple of notches. Then once I did that my front sprocket cover was blocking it from going from 3-5th so I took the sprocket cover off. No need for it I guess, but the boots still fill funny but atleast now my toe will go underneath the shifter.

 

I had the same problem to but someone told me to drench the boots in water and then go ride or just walk around in them for a good portion of the day and it really helped them get broke in.But before I was told that I broke the shifter linkeg 4 times on my old warrior.

 

dont drown the boots in water that will just make them stiffer, they will break in after about 4 rides or wear them around your house
make them a tight as they will go and kinda leanback and forth stretching them out i have done this exact thing with about 10 pairs
so i know this works . hope this helps. KRACKER
