Adjusting the Shifter Linkage
Warning:
 Your vehicle's gearshift lever comes properly adjusted from the factory so
that the "Park" gear is fully engaged and will not slip.
 During every pre-ride inspection ensure that the gearshift lever is fully
engaged into "Park" and does not slip out of gear.
 Have your authorized dealer annually inspect, lubricate, adjust, or replace
the shifter cable.
If the transmission shifting lever on the dash is not fully engaging into "Park" or
"Low," it needs to be adjusted. First, the distance out of alignment must be
established, and then the system will need to be adjusted.
To establish alignment:
1. Ensure that the machine is safely parked on flat, level ground with the
ignition off. Place chocks to the front and rear of the wheels.
2. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position, but do not start the engine.
3. Depress the brake pedal fully. With two hands, carefully move the shifter
lever upwards until an exclamation point (!) displays on the gauge.
