600 pegs wont help with this problem. Have you tried adjusting the shifter itself?
Could always try the 5forty2 mod and start chopping toes off.

I'll just mention if your foot is hitting the shifter at all ever when you don't intend to... you foot is in the wrong position or the shifter is in the wrong position.

Best way around that problem would be to ride with the balls of your feet or toes on the pegs, then just move your foot into position as needed to shift. If your feet are hanging down under the shifter, eventually you might catch your toes mid-corner.John,

Ditto, I'm curious as to how the hell your foot is hitting the shifter when you're not shifting...90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.

I ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs unless I am planning on shifting... But that is because I always felt I had better control of the bike then when I let 'em hang...

it was more so shifting as i roll my foot out after a shift but i'll just adjust it a little more and deal with it come winter.
