V2 Panigale V2 Downshift Issues

  1. Hi all, I've recently picked up a V2 trackbike. It had its first outing at Donington last month and it was sublime. The only issue I had was with the downshifts. I had quite a few false neutrals, usually between 4th and 3rd. I don't think I've ever been so fast, at such an angle of lean ...in neutral, in my life. Scary stuff.

    The bike is set in race shift pattern. It has Spider rearsets. I have bought the Racetorx Gearshift Support as it didn't have this fitted, but have yet to venture back out on track. Is this downshifting a common issue? Is there anything else I can / should do to improve things, for example adjusting the settings in the bike's menu or a software update etc?

    Thanks, Ben

  2. Standard rearsets are not great. An upgrade to something more suitable will help if not already done.

  3. I note you mention spider rearsets... presuming you've done the adjustments needed to get the peg in the right place for your toes ?
