GP shift adjustment hint

Until you are dragging your toe and shift knob while trying to upshift through a corner, there is no need.

i cant try it , after careful consideration i decided it would take extensive modding and aftermarket rear sets to get the desired effect on my ride.

On the roads I ride on, I can stall an upshift. And my bikes redline well below 10K. But I can't stall a downshift. It has to be immediate. All the blind corners require slow in and fast out. A tap on the gearshift puts me in a lower gear and into the meat of the powerband.

True... but if it makes you more comfortable to switch... why not?

I'll try it... when I get a chance... but I know I don't NEED it... I ride just fine the normal way...
