How to 'change to GP shift'

This is a "How to" video on changing your standard shift pattern to GP shift. Basically changing the shift pattern from 1 down 5 up.... to 1 up and 5 down. This is a completely free mod, and works on most bikes. I promise you will be happy with the outcome. This doesnt work on all bikes, you need to be sure you have enough room to flip the linkage 180 degrees. If you dont have the room . this wont work

Everyone thinks that if you do this Youre some sort of poser, its seriously just a preference and imo more fun. Most people havent even tried it.

This'd be great as an anti-theft measure.

One of the first things i did on my first bike.
After i got my license my instructor told me "Try GP Shift, and get Crash Bar / Slide Frames for your firt bike."

Put the bolt back in from the underside as it is intended to be.The bolt needs to be from the bottom to get the lever to squeeze it onto the splines as intended. This can eventually get loose on the splines over time and could skip, wear on the splines and damage the splines.

Nice! I believe GP shifting is more natural! All bikes should have GP shifting 😁

You're right, I never did go back. And if I ride anything else It's just confusing lol

Just going through videos and I run into your ass making how to videos. What's good homie!

Without a quickshifter I like gp shift because when shifting your hand and foot are going in the same direction. Much smoother.

Good video.
I never realised we called this motoGP shifter.
Fact is, we always had this type of shifter on our motocyle.
Only in recent years that those: one down and 4 ups came.

That why I was searching to lean about the difference.
Given generally are have shorter foot, GP makes is more comfortable and efficient.

But I do not think we could tune our shifter to gp or atleast without professional help.
We are talking about expensive 125 cc commercial bikes in Asian countries that the world does not even know about.
You know those motocycle you see in documentaries in India and other Asian countries...

Thus, I do not understand people's logic about not using GPshifting.
For us it is still factory default for < 100cc motocycle.

Just goes to show how people think their culture is the Golden Rule that the whole work should apply...

My bike doesn’t have a gear indicator so this is going to help

[truevegas]

I like your white watch bro 👍🏼 what is that? G Shock?

My chopper was set up as GP. Confused the life out of me for about a day then settled in. Am in the process of setting up an rf900r and am swapping to GP set up.

That's an example of bad filming. Can't really see what the guy is doing and half the time I can't hear what he's saying. The camera man should get closer to the action, instead of standing back.

What are you guys good at?
Instructions? NO.
Explanations? No.
Sound quality? No.
Video proximity? No.
Go fishing.

"Stick to standard set up pal changing gears in corners is plain dumb and useless", oh jeez. Such intelligence ...

I would even prefer this kind of shifting over the regular one. My Honda CBR650F (naked) has a quite short shift-to-peg gap, and it is hard to shift more than once in a row without having to bend your feet way down/back, so the shifter completes and gets into stock position further ado.

This kind of "down for higher gear"-principle makes more sense imo, if you are having big feets / mentioned small gap.

Always first thing I do on a gixxer is change to gp shift I will never go back to d1 u5 #u1d54ever and bolt should be in from bottom -top cause where the threads are and make sure it's torqued to spec don't want tht coming loose. Happened to a friend's bike and came loose & wasn't good in short rin. thts all I'll say

[montuam]

Trying to do it on my ZX6R, but hasn’t enough room.

[michaelgonzalez]

I purchased a bike like this and want it back to standard just due to the fact when I’m in first it’s hard for me to get it to neutral I go from first to second since I’m hitting down but is there any tutorial or way u can tell me how to get it back to standerd or perhaps maybe redo my gears better

[tooljunkie]
