Hollywood33 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 But you still like dudesThis.But as far as something actually relating to this thread, I just recently switched to GP shift after riding standard for like 6 years. I haven't ridden it at the track yet, but I have taken it out on the street a few times and it seemed fairly easy to pick up and remember. I might eat those words later, but for now, all is well.

20thGix Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I switched my bike sometime last summer just to see if i would like it. It took me a few rides to get used to it but i like it alot better than standard shift. Never really had any oshit moments but a few times i did have to actually think which way i needed to move my foot to get in the right gear. It did help keep me from missing 1st to 2nd shift. Now on the rare occasion i get on my dads shadow I will have a hard time shifting at first. All in all even just for the street i like GP over STD.

grapesmuggler27 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 So you can change the shift pattern?On some bikes yes.Gp shift... Standard shift It's basically done by flipping the shorter (Idk correct term) but basically you can see the difference in the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 ^this, some you can just flip the arm, others you have to get a kit to flip the arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Just remember that all bikes (modern sportbikes and most older generation sportbikes) can be swapped. BUT, some need a special kit to allow the arm to clear the frame, work with the shifting collar, etc. Not all are like the Suzuki pictured. For example, the RC8 needs a $5 piece that allows for GP shift...My bad... Pic is correct... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
