gear shifter upgrade

Ive seen people upgrade from the linked gear shifter to a fixed one. I think made by sun?

My question is which one to go for?

I think a yz one comes to mind?

Can someone help and also let me know if it makes much difference.

Will shifting be easier with riding boots?

I would try adjusting your present setup first with the adjuster rod

I would do as Darkman suggested 1st before spending any money

 

If you have an 05-10 model, the best solution is the lever off the 02-04 Speed triple (or 02-06 Daytona). I have done this mod on 3 speedies that I've owned and the shift feels much more direct, than the remote shifter, especially after the remote shift linkage gets a bit of wear in it.

 

its much better!

 

I gather the change from 1 down/6 up to 1 up/6 down is an easy transition. I understand GP riders do this to avoid their foot dragging near the tarmac on an up-shift

I like this idea

 

Will that lever not fit the 2011+ then ?

 

This modification wont change the shift pattern.

 

I don't know about the 11-15 models.

 

Yep, I stand corrected. I thought moving the lever up moved the gear sprocket clockwise - wrong.

Cheers for the clarification.

So I just take a lever from a 02-04 Speedie and it works....

 

I'll see if I can get one cheap and try it....

 

Yep. Plug and Play. I'm a size 10 shoe, and its perfect for me.

 

Good luck finding a cheap one. They're rare as rocking horse shit.

 

Has anyone tried the IMS https://www.imsproducts.com/Product...Lever&SeriesSet=Flightline&sed=true&tyd=true# seems to have more rubber sleeve on the end than the sunline usually suggested.
