Default GP Shift Mod

Here's a mod that you can do at a minimal cost. Found it on another site. This will help you keep your toe's when riding hard in the twisted stuff.

You will have to space (red arrow) the pivot point of the shifter with 2 small washers from your local hardware store. unbolt pivot point and reuse single washer already on bike then add 2 washers then retighten bolt, you should be able to feel bolt on back side of bracket when tight, normally this bolt protrudes through bracket about 1 to 2 millimeters stock, it should be flush with bracket after mod.You will have to flip the piece connected to the gearbox 180 degrees and pull out as far and still have the bolt that runs through it tighten.It will have about 1 to 2 millimeters play when bolt is loose this is normal. You will only have about 1 millimeter between shift rod and frame but it works.

I have heard of this mod. just don't know if I would like it, so I have yet to do it...

I just think that clicking down to shift up would have me a messed up on the road..

it's cool to do. but it confused the hell out of me when a friend of mine did it to his bike and forgot to tell me. i had a hard time trying to figure out why i had to give the bike alot of gas when trying to leave the line. not knowing i was already in second gear. lol lol.

I got this mod from another forum and posted it here just incase anyone was interested in it. I haven't done this to my bike yet, but I have been thinking about it. I found myself downshifting when I wanted to upshift a few times and figured that this mod won't be hard to get used to.

remo, if you find yourself down shifting when you should be up shifting. then this mod is for you. now the only problem i think you might have is up shifting when you should be down shifting.[8D][sm=dontgetit.gif]
