First, make sure you put some sort of lubricant on the chain, WD40 is great for cleaning but really isn't a chain lubricant..
As for the shifter, the lever can be adjusted higher or lower. Remember that shaft you had to maneauver around to get the sprocket cover off? Well there's a nut on each end (10mm wrench) of that shaft. One end is REVERSE THREADED.
Loosen both nuts and turn the shaft. You'll see the shifter itself go up or down depending on the direction you turn the adjuster. Get it where you want it and lock the lock nuts back down.
NOTE: If the lever is adjusted TOO LOW, the shifter will potentially hit the kick stand mount so make sure the shifter, after the adjustment, DOESN'T STRIKE anything(or it won't downshift fully as it should)..
