RearSets

[TXZ0603]

WhooHoo.... Got a part I needed fixed for my rearsets today. Going home at lunch and putting them back on. I cant stand the stock rearset or the normal shifting. It kills me to re-learn how to shift stock.lol

Congrats, hope it all goes together smooth.
Let us know how you like them :grin:

Oh I love reverse shift. I havnt used them however in about a year since I went through the back of a car. These are the last piece of the puzzle to being complete again.

Wow sorry to hear, glad you are back at it though

Why couldn't you have gp shift with your stock shifter?

I love gp shift too, though. I can switch back and forth between the two, but I prefer gp. Makes more sense to me that way.

My rearsets came in today for my 750, can't wait to get them on. :yahoo: I had Arata rearsets on my 600, but I'm giving Vortex a try with the new bike.

GP wont work with a 1000RR stock shifter. it will work on the 600RR however. The Vortex are th ones I have. Man its been a long time since I rode with these. Gotta keep it in my head which way to shift.....LOL

[acalliste]

One more reason to stick with Suzuki. :D

When I switch back and forth between standard and GP, I spend a minute or so before taking off reciting the shift pattern in my head. That usually straightens me out. But I don't have to switch that often, usually just when riding someone else's bike for whatever reason.

And when I bought the 750, I had to ride it home with standard shift b/c the dealer wouldn't change it for me. Something about liability. Like making me ride home like that after a few years of nothing but GP shift wasn't taking a chance. :glare:

shoulda done it yourself in the parking lot.

gotta wait for a linkage kit to come out for the 1125.

I'm not that mechanically inclined/motivated.

on my SV all it takes it removing one bolt, and flipping the linkage around... 2 min tops.

gotta love simplicity

[acalliste]

It was that simple on my 600. For the 750 the only additional step was to move the bottom thing to a different bolt-hole so the rod would clear the cases at the bottom.

I just don't like working on stuff, whereas my SO does and he gets bent out of shape if I don't let him do it. It was easier just to ride home with standard shift. I really don't have a problem switching back and forth. It's a fun mental exercise.

... really don't have a problem switching back and forth. It's a fun mental exercise.

Heh, and mental it is! I've got my racebike setup with a GP shift pattern, but the street bikes are 1-down x-up. Only once did I shift the wrong way on the track, and you can bet that it scared the hell out of me! Luckily, I was short-shifting into third to keep the front down.

There's one strange side effect, though... when I get aggressive on the street, my foot wants to switch to "race mode!" I can't count the number of times that I've caught myself wanting to shift the wrong direction on the street. The change happens the instant that I go from tooling around town to spirited riding. :pardon:

[acalliste]

Switch your street bike! I won't ever have another bike with standard shift if I can help it. GP just makes more sense in my head. :)
