S
I am used to reverse (GP) gearshift pattern rather than street pattern. On my previous bike (Panigale) I managed to change it but had to get a different shift rod with a reversed micro-switch for the Q/S. Keep in mind the 899 Panigale quick shift was only Upshift. I would like to check whether it's possible to reverse the shift pattern on my SS and as the micr-switch operates up and down, I'm wondering if anybody knows whether it would be necessary to change the switch or whether it should still work with reverse pattern? I'm thinking about trying it but don't want to risk stuffing up any part of the electronics!! - Any thoughts would be welcome
Surprised there've been no replies to this. Would have thought all the racy types with their DQS systems woulda been all over this. I loath the DQS on the street, it's a Touring bike for Pete's sake, but would readily use it on the track w/GP Shift.
Don't know if the Triumph guy ever bought his SS S, but I get his concern.
I'm considering buying a SSS. (Supersport S) and wondered if the stock rearset can be switched to GP shift (1 up, 5 down). Or if anyone knows of an aftermarket rearset that does the same thing. I have GP shift on my current bike, a Daytona 675R, that will become a full time track bike when I get a more street suitable bike. Hoping to stay consistent with my shift pattern.
Reversing the shifter mechanically isn't a big deal, but looks like it might take at least trimming a bit off or removing the plastic countershaft sprocket cover to allow the countershaft shift arm clearance if inverted, and the use of a much longer threaded rod to provide the proper angles for the shift lever and shift arm.
Normal enough, but your question about the DQS switch is the right one. I'll admit I'm real new (day 1) as a SS S owner, but I plan to be at the track in 2 weeks, so will be looking at this. Simplest short term fix would be to remove the DQS (how??) and reverse the mechanism with some fabricating etc.
I need a tutorial on the DQS system before proceeding.
