hi chaps does anyone here use a race gear shift on the road?? i keep getting false neutrals on my bike(road shift),got talking to a chap with a 1098s track bike he runs a race gear shift but with a slipper clutch and said hes never got a false neutral again!! is it worth a try for the road?? cheers.
I do, have done for many years. Always felt more natural to me but I can't see how it will help with false neutrals?
I find it too awkward to use a race shift pattern on the road especially at traffic lights. On the track no problem, try it and see what you think but I can't see it will help with false neutrals. Are you sure you don't have some gearbox wear or a badly adjusted\worn selector.
Quick tip. Get in the habit of moving your foot BEFORE you are due to change, i.e. if it coming to a halt/going down the box move it so your toes are under way before you need them. Its a great aid memoir I use to mean I don't have to think all the time.
I Used race shifter on my 750 monster ,swapped it back before selling it,took it for a spin,and kept going into false neutrals very often. Race shift is the way to go.
well chaps after the first ride out all went well, had a couple of miss changes but nothing major its a lot easier once i got used to it and no more false neutrals just seems to go into gear far more smoothly now.
