Raptor shifter question?

I bought the IMS shifter that is pictured a few quotes ago and when I put it on I could not shift down into reverse. It says it made for the raptor. Could I have put it on wrong or maybe I put it on to far back on the post? Any ideas would help.

Yamaha does this to make the shifter adjustable. Adjustable for what??? I don't know. Maybe to make it seem more difficult for the garage mechanic.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Ditch the linkage-go direct.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I used the direct link shifter for about 10 seconds and put the stock one back on. The throw turns to an ungodly length the splines don't allow for enough adjustability not to mention the scratch in my side case from the loose movement in the shifter The stock one is fully adjustable and has a shorter throw than the direct. but I guess all I'm saying is I prefer the stock w/linkage though it does suck to deal with sometimes.
