Pull your shifter off

[ManicMechanic]

And radius the back side of it. The stock shifter has a square edge on it that will cut into the case. I dropped my bike today and the shifter sheared right threw my CFC case guard and into the case. Damn Suzuki, anyway!

very good reminder of a basic mod that should be done right off the bat.

Your post motivated me to go ahead and do it on my 2005 DRZ. I have also installed the covers. Thanks for the hard-earned advice.

Second vote for the sticky.

Would've saved me from asking more than a few stupid questions (which have been answered many times before) - to everyone's credit, I received gracious, helpful answers every time.
