RE: shift pattern - 6/2/2006 6:18:47 AM    Seltorque   Posts: 80 Joined: 5/24/2006 Status: offline Blade what he means is the gear shift pattern in reverse. On our bikes the conventional pattern is 1 down and then shift up for 2,3,4,5 & 6. Where MotoGP is 1 up and the shift down for 2,3,4,5 & 6. The idea is it takes little effort & time to just tap the lever down in order to shift up a gear. (in reply to blade17fire) Post #: 3

RE: shift pattern - 6/2/2006 11:34:20 AM    sidthafish Posts: 58 Joined: 4/20/2006 Status: offline You would have to replace the rear sets with one that allows you to set a gp style shift pattern. It's not hard at all. As far as only racers doing it, I think it's just a matter of preference. Some run thier street bike with gp style shift patterns. (in reply to br2819) Post #: 5

As far as I know, all aftermarkets that offer you that choice clearly indicate that the reverse pattern is for racing use only. Maybe you could rig something up for the rear brake like (not that you use it much anyway) but I'd hate to try and rig a pair of $500 rearsets. _____________________________ Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your biggest fears to come true (in reply to yashin) Post #: 6

RE: shift pattern - 6/2/2006 4:20:08 PM    AZ1000rr Posts: 428 Joined: 5/17/2006 Status: offline From what I have been told, no. Its all in the linkage on the rearset. At least thats what Gilles, Vortex and Arata say. _____________________________ Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your biggest fears to come true (in reply to yashin) Post #: 8

RE: shift pattern - 6/3/2006 7:08:11 AM    Anubis Posts: 2159 Joined: 6/27/2005 Status: offline I run the GP Shift pattern, its only a linkage adjustment on the rearsets i have to change from standard to reverse. I love it, the best benefit is when your accelerating though bends its easier to change up a gear because your pushing the lever down not up. Especially when your in a left bend where when your leaned over you wouldn`t be able to get your foot under the lever because your leaned so far. Now i`m used to it i`d never go back. _____________________________ Liverpool-UK Bla Bla Bla - Just Ride It !! (in reply to blade17fire) Post #: 10

RE: shift pattern - 6/3/2006 11:01:58 AM    05Tribal Posts: 919 Joined: 5/23/2005 Status: offline My understanding for the reverse shift pattern is for foot clearance when shifting while leaned over. Anibus, have you ever taken a quick ride on friends bike with a normal shifting pattern and had problems? _____________________________ 2006 Red & Black CBR1000RR Street Bike With a few mods 2007 White & Silver CBR600RR For the wife 2005 CBR600RR Totally for the track!

RE: shift pattern - 6/3/2006 11:52:02 PM    vanos954   Posts: 16 Joined: 5/22/2006 From: Anaheim Hill, CA Status: offline I ran the GP style shift pattern on my GSXR for about 5 minutes. I disliked the position the shifter was in and the "odd" feeling of it. I'm sure you'd get used to it after a while but after years and years it's just a bit hard to get used to for me. I switched back immediately. On the GSXR it was simply a matter of unbolting the shift linkage and flipping it 180degrees...instant reverse pattern. I'm not sure about the 1000rr if it's the same as I have no inclination to do it. (in reply to 05Tribal) Post #: 12
