can we use one of these on our bikes? sometimes when im riding really hard i have a tendency to not pull the shifter up all the way and missing a gear. was thinking about getting a quick shifter to assist. but i heard they make one for carb'd bikes that just cuts the ignition, but cant seem to find one | ||

I just don't use the clutch from 2nd-5th. As soon as you start accelerating hard in 2nd, hold pressure up on the shifter (or down in my case using a GP 1up 4 down pattern) When you're ready to shift, close the throttle quickly then crack it back open. During that split second while the throttle is closed and there is slack in the tranny, you'll feel the pedal move as the tranny changes gears. Two VERY important things to remember: #1 - release, and reapply pressure to the shifter after each gear change so that the shift pawl can grab the next tooth on the detent plate. #2 - don't try this when shifting 1st to 2nd. You'll find neutral and bounce off the rev limiter every time. | ||

Agree with above (and also using GP shift), but... You only need to roll off the throttle a tiny bit, not close it. | ||

On my X1 tranny, I had zippers build it and set it up and back cut the gears for racing. And what a difference it made. It shifts so well with the lightest foot pressure. | ||

When I took apart my M2's tranny, I wanted to back cut the gears, but it appeared that it was done at the factory. I don't know if that was a running change that was made or something. |
