Like all motorcycles the RX comes with standard 1 down 5 up shifting from the factory. Unlike the RS, in order to reverse the shift pattern one must obtain a GP shift kit instead of just flipping the shift knuckle 180 degrees. After installing the RS linkage ( which requires trimming of the belly pan) I decided to try GP shift for the first time and find I LOVE IT, much more natural to me. Among other things I find the level of effort with RS kit installed is lower even though the through range is longer. The RX tranny is actually very smooth! So the question how many RX guys have or are planning to convert to GP shift?
P.S. this bike was made to have a quickshifter!!!
