    If you know/think you'll ... "mess it up" ... stay in bed. It will be safer for us all ...

    What class are you racing the FJ in? What shift pattern are you running?

    this fulla Max somthing or rather seems to do alright on his RSV4 with standard shift. But I dont think he is on KB so it must be a lie.

    I hold licenses 1-6 plus a few extra's ... and have owned and ridden Jap and (older) Italian bikes, and never have an issue with changing from one to another.

    If anybody can't go from one bike to another ... that has different shift patterns, then perhaps they aren't as skilled as they (should ??) could be.

    So I'll take that as a "no" on the race/track work then? And you insist on passing judgement? Interesting mindset you have........

    You have obvious trouble seeing the difference between "judgement" and opinion ... no wonder you have issues with gear change patterns .. and it is Road/sport section ...

    As for my race experience ... you may never know ...

    thanks

    Oh I have lots of issues but reading isn't one of them, and I can recommend reading the thread starter which asks a specific question (see above).

    Take a look at yourself man, d'you really wanna play cute lil' word games? I'm waaaay to old 'n burnt out for that shit.

    finding other solutions......

    I always had trouble with finding room for my foot as I habitually 'prepare' for the upshift with my foot sitting under the gear lever. I couldnt ever process the idea behind race pattern (just me really) so I raised the gear lever enough to give me more clearance and left it as street pattern.

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    K. Scwantz ran the street pattern too.
