|  Small thing Any of you guyz with C-50's have a little trubble up-shifting with the heel-toe pedal? When I use the heel with boots on, I usually miss third. Seems like the heel pedal doesn't return or "click up" high enough after 2nd. I looked at the linkage and was wondering if some sort of small adjustment may be in order. It's probably just rider error  jim

| No problem with shifting and at 18,000 miles. What I do find is if I wear a diff. pair of boots with a smaller heel I can mess up if I get careless. That is Rider error. |

| Went out for a cruise today and studied what I have been doing, Everytime I shift (especially in heavier traffic) my left foot slides back on the footboard. This places the pedal just ahead of the boot heel. Evidently when this happens I don't rock my foot back far enough to click into 3rd... Rider error resolved... Thanx for the replies all!
