You might find a longer shifter, or you might find that it worls better to use the edge of the sole for upshifts when wearing big, stiff MX boots.

Hello everyone, I am having problems with my shifter. When I stop my bike I am putting it in First, and turning it off so the wheels are locked. When I have been attempting to restart my bike it locks in gear and wont start. I tried unsuccessfully to put it in Neutral. The green light comes on but the bike is still locked in gear. Other times, its in neutral but the light is not on. In all situations today I have been unable to get the bike running again. Any suggestions? Darren A19
