Anyone here use a reverse shifting pattern? I have it on my bike and is a little odd at first.. easier to shift by stomping then lifting for me anyhow. If someone tried to steal my bike by hotwireing.. ill bet they wont figure out what the hell is wrong when they try to start in 6th gear.

 

i buddy of mine has reverse shifting on his gixxer and he loves it. he said he would never go back to regular shifting. im to stubborn to change.

 

what did you do to get reversed shifting? thanks yo.

 

My roommate want to do it. I don't really see the advantage, or at least why I would spend the money! Maybe that's just me, though!

 

yeah, i could go either way.. for me there isn't enough gain to spend money to reverse it into GP style. only real advantage is when you are making a hard/steep tuen your foot wont get sucked under from the road grabbing at your foot. also helps with hitting that damn neutral when casualy shifting.

"to answer everyone that sent me a PM on how to reverse the shifting to GP style, here is the best i can do for you.

when i bought my bike it came with the reverse shifter pattern installed. so i have no clue on how it was done. The only ways i know for sure on how to do it is by buying a new rearset with the reverse option, DYNOJET's quickshift mod comes with a reverse shifting option. Another way is to buy a longer rod from the shifter to the clevis but i have not found anything like that for the 929 yet for you guys. On some bikes i hear you can just rotate the clevis 180 degrees to get reverse shifting but i think thats only for kawasaki's or suzuki's.

sorry if i can't be more of help.

 

to do gp shifting remove all of the linkage and replace with a VFR or blackbird shift lever

 

thanks john, thats a good tip there.

Now were going to have a heard of 929 guys from here with GP shifters.

 

Yep VFR800 shifter, but it takes some getting use to espicially if you have been riding for a while.

 

what years of vfr shifter do we use?

 

1998 VFR 800
