Hey people! was surfing the net today at work and came across this site, everyone seems really friendly and it's full of usefull info. so i thought i'd register. I bought myself an 03 zx636r 2 weeks ago and absolutley loving it!! This is my 2nd 'fast' bike, my last one being a triumph daytona 650 which didn't feel anywhere as near as good as this, flat out has never been so fun
.
Anyways main reason im posting this is 'cos I want to change my shifter so it's GP style 1 up 5 down (obv.) but before I crack open the tools I was wondering if anyone else has done it on an 03-04 and if it's different to 05 onwards? I checked the other 2 threads on the subject and they seem to be geared towards the later model. Having a look at the bike im not sure if turning the selector lever (couldn't think of a better name for it lol) 180 degrees will hit against the casing. I notice in one of the other threads it suggests a couple of washers to space it out a little, will it still be secure enough? Don't really fancy riding home stuck in a certain gear if it falls off lol.
cheers for any help.
