I need to change my Bostrom 998s to a race pattern gear change as I get confused whilst riding and racing. Last night I changed the thing that connects to the gearbox to the gear lever so it is now pointing upwards and is away from the engine casing, instead of near the engine casing aand below the connector.
It seems to work but the lever doesn't always spring back quickly when used.
Am I causing a problem or is this a safe change to make? do I need to check anything or make more ajustments?
DP do a race pattern lever-as does JHP. It's a simple lever that goes straight on the gearshaft and replaces the pivot and rod and original lever. This will give you a much more positive gearchange. Setting it up as you have will work but the gearchange linkage is working through pretty extreme angles so will be stiffer and may bind.
I have one , poss for sale U2 me with an offer , i got mine from Tec moto a while ago , but its the same a Jhp one , if you dont like it send it back !
Dave,its easy when you use an 05 monster splined lever on the gear change shaft,costs a tenner job done ,i have a spare give me a ring and its yours. Butch
