For riders seeking a true racing feel, converting to a GP shift pattern is a popular modification. The GP shift pattern reverses the standard shifting sequence—pressing down on the lever shifts up through the gears, while lifting up shifts down. This allows for smoother, faster upshifts while accelerating out of corners. The conversion typically involves removing the shift arm bolt, reorienting the shift arm to face upward (opposite to the standard position), and reattaching it while maintaining a 90-degree angle to the shift rod. This modification significantly improves riding efficiency and speed for experienced track riders.
