The shift spindle is CNC machined from an aluminum body, with stainless steel hardware and is available in gold as pictured. The shift spindle is the rod that comes out of the engine which is attached to the shift rod. When you move your gear lever up or down, this rotates the shift spindle which in turn rotates the shift drum into the gear you've selected. Here you can see an example of it installed - On some sportbikes, the shift spindle sticks out pretty far and when the shift rod is moved it can create extra stress on the shaft itself causing it to bind in the existing supports. With continued use and continued stress, this condition only gets worse and results in degraded shift quality and poor gear selection. Installing the Sato Racing shift spindle holder extends the support of the shaft virtually eliminating the stress caused by shifting.

Sato Racing rearsets are premium components for the most discerning of motorcycle riders. The fit and finish of every piece is immaculate with absolutely no rough edges anywhere, few tooling marks and an overall logical layout. Parts are sculpted from high-quality, lightweight aluminum alloys that are then anodized in your choice of clear, black, or gold for a corrosion and scratch resistant finish. Stainless steel hardware is included with every kit that’s strong enough for racing and trackday use and most models also include a brake light activation switch for street use. Pictured for ZX-10R 2011-2014 which has an MSRP of $575.00 available from Riders Discount. Pictured for ZX-10R 2011-2014 Available for most late model sportbikes, Sato rearsets offer a wide range of adjustability with foot pegs that can be moved back, forward or up for most applications. Many rearset kits also include adjustable toe pegs and allow the user to fine tune shift and brake lever throw ratios to dial in a very precise feel. Furthermore, double-miniature ball bearings are used for the shift and brake levers for superb lever action. Sato Racing parts are not yet available on our website – for more information, contact MIKE at 866.931.6644 ext 804. You can also email us with any questions you have – send those to FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away. Footpegs are easily adjustable by changing their position within a set of slots on the rearset bracket. All Sato footpegs have a knurled finish. Also notice the outermost part of the peg is beveled to increase crash survivability. Instead of losing the entire peg, the tip will likely break off, leaving you with plenty of room to continue riding safely.
