I just did this on my F800ST. It was missing the metal collar bushing altogether. After putting in both new parts (collar bushing and plastic sleeve) I felt it still had tou much play as the collar nut was slightly longer than the pedal itself was wide, causing about a half mm play. I made a plastic shim with the hole just large enough to clear the collar bushing, but snugging up against the pedal, removing most of the remaining play. Being plastic, it allows the pedal to still move easily and now there's practically no more play, and much securer gear shifts compared to when I bought the bike a month ago. Thanks for posting.

Well done 👍🏻

I changed also that piece on my BMW F800ST and after a while, let's say about 10.000 kms it started to have the same play again. What I do since then, is to tight up a thin insulating strap around the pedal adjustment screw to avoid the play on the pedal. I know is not the best solution but putting the new busch didn't solve the problem in my case that is why I decided not to renew it again. Thanks for your videos and explanations!

I once lost that bottom nut on my previous F800GT. I don't know how, one day all of a sudden I could no longer gear down, I had to stop and see what was going on. Bought a new nut, a lock nut and it was fine since then...
From that day onwards I regularly check the gear shifter before moving and it definitely has quite some play.
Thank you for the video sir! Greetings from Spain.

Any information is appreciated.

Shift lever on shift shaft has a tightening torque of 9Nm

[@jos6469]

But that is not the bolt you are talking about. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[@steveplatts9252]

Hi, what size torx did you need to remove the second item you removed?

[@jerrick.warren]

I would like to know as well.

[@tobias2044]

Can the shift pedal be adjusted in height? Thanks

Yep you can 😉

[@tobias2044]

How you do it? 😅
