RE: Pro Evo Shift Kit
That is so wierd. I was just looking at the factory pro website and reading about false neutrals on the vfrworld forum. I am curious about this myself, for the VFR. I hit a false neutral every once in a while, and was wondering if this would fix it.

RE: Pro Evo Shift Kit
On my VFR, after riding for a couple hours and getting comfortable, sometimes between 5th and 6th I will not pull up far enough on the lever and it will ratchet and rev up like it is in neutral, then pop back into 5th gear. Scary stuff, sounds like hell and lurches the bike. Supposedly that kit makes the shifts feel more solid and precise. But you have to get the whole thing, not just the spring and lever. The key is the star wheel.

I've had this happen too, only on my '90 F1. It sounds like some piece fell off inside and is griding the gear and then it pops back down and lurches like you said. It freaks me out so i pull the clutch in but then it goes away and doesn't happen for a long time. dunno what causes it..

If those kits do what they claim, i think the $200+ price is fair. Im no racer, but quick, solid shifts are never a bad thing.
