Anyone swap out there shift pedal to a cbr600 shift pedal? Makes it 1up-5down, I need a little clearance for the new track boots. I havent played with the stock setup yet, I might find the clearance there:confused:.
I was just curious who likes the change?
And if it helped them out at track days?

I used the CBR1100XX shifter. Not sure what the differences might be between the various models. It fits my foot quite well. I have typically reversed the shift pattern on most my bikes. Just feels better.

I use standard shift on my RC and GP shift on my SV-650. Mostly because I didn't have to buy anything for the SV to make it happen. I use both of these bikes on the track and pretty much had to go GP on the SV because you have to shift that thing 3 times as much (often before completely out of a corner) as the RC on most tracks to keep up with the big boy bikes.

Logic says it would make it easier to up-shift leaning left (and it does) but it really helps even more not having to keep a toe under the shifter when leaning right.

if i did it, i'd have to switch the other bikes too.....standard shift is just habit now and i'm sure i would mis shift all the time......not someting i'd want to risk on the track.....i'm not racing or competing anyway, so i'm not worried about it. Maybe i'll try it in the future just to see how i like it.
