Using this shifter is easy. First, make sure to measure your shifter fork width to choose the right barrel type. Once installed, you can adjust the shift knob height and throw length as you like. To adjust the height, you can move it from 1 inch higher to 1 inch lower. For the throw length, you can make it 10% longer to 25% shorter after cutting the trim ring.
When installing, it requires an intermediate level of effort. You can refer to the installation guide provided.
As for maintenance, keep the shifter clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it regularly. Since it's made of 6061 Aluminum and anodized black, it's quite durable, but avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the anodized finish. Also, check the steel socket head screws periodically to ensure they are tightened properly.
