So lately I've been doing a good amount of reading into GP shifting and I've decided I'd like to do it myself. My 2nd gear is fried so I have to shift through it to 3rd everytime, but sometimes when it's high in the revs it grinds a little and I can't tell if I made the full two clicks up, and if I don't it falls into neutral and revs way up.. making me sound like a jackass . So, if I can get the full pressure of a downward step over a toe click upwards I'm thinkin it will help. Anyone done this to their Kats yet? If so, post a quick how-to? Thanks.

I haven't done it myself. I rode one bike with an upside down shift pattern, and I was constantly downshifting on accident.Any and all statements by Loudnlow7484 are merely his own opinions, and not necessarily the opinion of Katriders.com.

Was reading the thread and decided to take a peek at my post 600 and this looks impossible because of the lack of clearance to the side stand switch and side stand mounting plate. I like the idea, but in the real world I think it would mess me up.
I think you would need a longer shifter rod to accommodate the reversed linkage and get your lever position correct as well.
While the topic is up, what are the primary advantages aside from being able to stand on the gearshift for upshifts?____________

Not sure about a Kat, but on my Bandit,I had to get rid of the sidestand switch & grind the tab for it off the sidestand. Gotta hook the 2 wires together to get it to start, & remember to put the stand up before riding off.1996 600 Bandit

I thought about it for a time, but decided it had no benefit. Besides, if you've ridden for more than a year you are already set on one way to control the bike. Switch it up now and you might start making mistakes you would regret.sigpic
Signature was getting too long, check my garage for list of mods.
