Hello, do you have the part nr for the updated shifter joint? I also wonder if you have secured (using wire with small drill holes) or checked your oil pressure relief valve since you got the bike? I see that some people are really unlucky, if it comes lose it can destroy your engine.
honestly... no, i dont feel the difference... compared to my previous bikes that have had the shift support. but it looks cool and adds a good red accent to the bike hehe
your shift rod is about 1/2" too short - looks like!... the shift linkage arm needs to be near 90 degrees angle / straight out to the side in relation to the foot lever direction for proper shifts to happen! (foot lever angle and shift linkage angle should look in "parallel" - not as you have it here!) (fyi!)
Hey, yeah, I know the rule of thumb is perpendicular/90 degrees for the joint/shift rod connection. However, with the aftermarket rearsets, it's rather better to have it at the angle I show in the video; where I have equal amount of travel for up and down shifts. But yeah, you're right, however, it's also a general baseline/recommendation, not an obligation to your shifter setting. at the end of the day, if it works, it works; it could be rider's preference too. once again, thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it and I hope others read it too! 😁

Did the shift shaft support make a difference?
