SPEED: Here in Canada, only about half the licenced roadracers who enter sanctioned events use the race setup. Including Superbike riders and on down.
Frankly, I thought it was an internal transmission mod.
On track days, and I do a lot of those plus race schools plus private club racing, I have yet to meet anyone who makes the mod. Nor have I met anyone on the street who's done it. I've got to think this has something to do with a lack of awareness.
All I've heard for years is riders complaining how non-sensical it is to use such a weak and imprecise muscle group for upshifting (which is much more demanding than downshifting) and how upsetting to the bike's equilibrium it is to pull up for an upshift.
I think a lot of people just aren't aware that it's such an easily available option for them.
Certainly, I wasn't.
I thought that some Members might appreciate hearing that it does not require transmission adjustments to reverse the shifting order.
