Just curious, I swapped my SV to GP shift by simply flipping the linkage around. Simple and easy.

On the 1125, there is no linkage to switch around, so how would one go about changing it to GP shift?

Just curious if it's something that would be relatively simple to do or not.

Actually, no... since I started the year on the 1125, I'm actually used to that, and i miss shifted the SV the first time on it... :lol:

But i did like the way the GP felt riding, so if it was possible, I'd do it... if not, well, I'll deal with standard.

The SV is back to standard now anyway for the gf.

And besides ebbs, how am I gonna fuck you up otherwise???

It looks so little compared to the 1125... at least from the front.

They are close length and height wise...

Post a pic of the rearset, a couple angles, but most from directly to the side, and I'll tell you. You might need new rearsets (Yamaha's do) or it might be internal (748/996 Series Duc's, I think, azoom would know)

From the picture I found, it doesn't look easy... probably an internal change...

That being said, this picture is badass:

I'll take some pics tonight hopefully.

Thanks.

Oh, and that is a sweet pic OSP, but a pre production model.

From my quick internet search, it looks like Buell will be offering a factory accessory for GP shift.

nothing concrete, just various articles and forums keep mentioning a kit. Just type gp shift 1125r in at google.

Clear.
The rear turns are as well... All LED signals. But the tail/brake light is a standard bulb. Go figure :idk:
have to change that out here sometime.

The pre production ones had amber signals w/standard bulbs.

what happened?

He just didn't like it compared to his ZZR.
It was set up for GP shift, and it is slower than his, so he was unimpressed when we switched.

Could be that too :lol:

nothing bad there's just no point in riding it again... I prefer my bike to the SV... his GP shift fucked me up at first when I tried to take off... (even after him reminding me :lol:) but it was just me trying to remember what the SV felt like (the first bike I rode was an 03 SV)
