So, this is a weird one for me:
When I got my XS400 project, I seem to recall the shifter clearing the case and the engine enough to change gears. There's even a mark on the case where the backside of the shifter had worn it. Since then, the shifter, case and exhaust have been off for various repairs but now the shifter seems closer to the engine. It's actually trapped between the exhaust (which it hits on the downstroke) and the engine (which it hits going up).
Is there a way to shorten the throw, or move the shift lever outboard more? I'm really baffled as to how it no longer works when it was fine before.
