Best way to change to GP shift ?

13455 Views 12 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  SkyDork
Any company selling a kit to turn the 2016 into GP shift ? or do i just need aftermarket rear sets ? if so which ones are offering this ?

Btw i already tried buying the woodcraft 2011-2015 gp shift knuckle but the damn stock quick shifter is so big that there is no room for it and it hits the frame

I'm using G4 vortex rearsets with the stock G5 knuckle turned around and a spacer added to it. I've also got a washer between the rearset base plate and the rearset to add a hair more clearance.

It worked flawlessly for clutchless up and downshifts racing last weekend.

Are you flashed and flipped the sensor in the ECU?
I am using the gen4 driven rearsets. Just spaced them out for frame clearance. Auto part Tire Vehicle Bicycle drivetrain part Brake

Kit ECU with the shift direction flipped in there.

"Worked Flawless" was a little misleading too. It worked flawless if I shifted correctly. Until I realized what I was doing I had trouble with upshifts coming out of a certain right handed corner because I'd be applying force half down and half on the end of the shifter pushing it towards the bike. I think the lack of clearance was hindering the shift motion because I'd push the shifter/sensor/frame together.

Once I corrected and made sure my foot was positioned to push straight down on the shifter that issue went away. I think it's a bit more finicky than if it was the right stuff designed for the bike because I've never had that issue in that corner with any other bike.
I went with Evol Tech rearsets for GP shift and QS works with this set up.

I didnt do it myself so I'm not 100% but I believe he said he drilled out what was there so he could put a longer bolt through and add that spacer you can see in the picture.
I just got a driven rear set and it worked good. GP shift , this is for 2016 zx10r , no shimming or polarity change on QS was necessary

Hey,

I got the same rear sets and I want to use GP shift but in the installation manual said that I need to flash the ECU did you flash it?

You have to. You need to reverse the direction of the sensor if you intend to use the quick shifter. If you don't want to use that any longer, then remove it and forget about it. Otherwise, you have to change the software through a reflash to change the direction. Otherwise it will quick shift when you down shift.
