Installing rearset, need some help
After a spill on the canyons, my stock shifter/rearsets were pretty much toast. I ordered some new ones on ebay, they appear to be Sato knockoffs. Anyway, I ran into a problem during the install. Have a look.
http://imgur.com/2Q5TR The shift arm won't attach to the shift rod. I'm told the shift arm on the ninja sometimes has reversed threads. Anyone got some solutions? If apparently the 250 occasionally comes with reversed threaded arms, where can I get a regular threaded one? I could order another arm off bikebandit or something similar, but how can I be sure it won't be reversed like the one I already have? Thanks any and all help. |

The shift shaft side SHOULD be left-hand threaded. The heim joint on the rearset pedal should be right-hand threaded. This way you can thread both ends in evenly by just rotating the shift linkage. The linkage is the correct length, it's just not threading in?

Thanks k-os
Turns out, I had the shift rod backwards *facepalm* Either way, these rearsets feel kinda flimsy and I'm not all that confident in riding with them. Starting to look like a waste of 200 bucks :\ |

Mind answering a few questions?
Got the same thing just recently, Sato knock offs off ebay.
I cannot for the life of me understand how to install the shift rod. How did you get yours onto the OEM balljoint part with the shift rod they provided exactly? |
