Refer to your motorcycle's specific service manual for detailed instructions regarding the removal and installation of shift lever components for your model year.

3. Operation

The SarUel Front Lever Pedal Shift Lever functions identically to the original equipment shift lever on your BMW R1250GS. Its primary purpose is to allow the rider to change gears by applying pressure to the pedal.

3.1 Gear Shifting

To shift gears, depress the clutch lever (if applicable to your motorcycle's shifting mechanism), then apply upward or downward pressure to the shift pedal as required for upshifting or downshifting. Release the clutch lever smoothly to engage the new gear.

3.2 Adjustable and Foldable Pedal

The integrated adjustable and foldable design of the pedal allows for customization to suit rider preference and provides a safety feature. In the event of an impact, the foldable design helps to mitigate damage to the lever assembly.

• Adjustment: If the pedal position is adjustable, loosen the securing bolt, move the pedal to the desired angle, and re-tighten the bolt securely. Refer to your motorcycle's manual or a professional for optimal ergonomic setup.
• Folding Mechanism: The pedal is designed to fold upwards or inwards upon impact, reducing the risk of bending or breaking the lever. After an impact, inspect the lever for any damage before continuing operation.
