Moto Gp Gear-shift

The 250 gp bikes up change by kicking down, and of course down change by up kicking. Can the NSR(mc21) be modified the same?.

I think the 800's do also, but I dont have one of those

You can swap the gear shift knuckle to run what your looking for. Simple remove the knuckle from the gear shaft, turn it 180 degrees and put it back on.

I run race shift on all my bike and it has already been said its simply turning the knuckle 180 degrees. Be careful though when you first do it as its easy to change the wrong way and lock up the rear or worse. I ended up with a slipper clutch which helped when i got it wrong.

i noticed when i did this, i had a problem with it hitting something, can't remember what it was hitting but i think it was the stock expansion chambers

although my knuckle was pretty buggered

Sometimes they hit the side stand on the MC21's. That might of been it.

yes, the side stand is well in the way for mine, and it would be well on the piss if it was able to connect

you can remove the side stand and it should clear no problem. Okay, may not be the best option for a street bike Smile

I know Tyga made a setup that allowed the knuckle to clear the side stand. Not sure if they still make it. Should be able to find it in their site if they do.

Other option is to grind away the side stand to allow clearance for the knuckle to move freely.
