DescriptionThe whole story▼

On a GSX-R1000 of 2012 to 2016 that is shifted hard at high revs, the gear shift shaft can flex slightly where it leaves the engine, and a gear that is not fully engaged is the result. The Gilles Shiftholder for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 of those years supports the shaft at exactly that point.

Key Features

  • Individual parts available as spares
  • Supports the shift shaft where it leaves the engine
  • Prevents the shaft from flexing under hard shifts
  • Bushing of special plastic for the shaft
  • Hard-anodised in titanium colour
  • No registration required in Germany

A classic track-day bike

This generation of the GSX-R1000 is still a common sight at track days, often with many kilometres behind it. Supporting the shift shaft restores a precise, positive gear change, which is especially noticeable on fast upshifts at the end of a straight.

Late braking, quick downshifts

Going into a hairpin on this GSX-R, a rider may drop three gears in quick succession while braking hard. Each downshift pushes on the shaft in the opposite direction to an upshift. With the outer end supported, the selector follows those rapid movements without lagging behind the lever, and the engine gets the gear it was asked for.

Road Approval

This part needs no approval and no entry in the papers. It supports the gearbox shift shaft of the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 and leaves the rider controls and every approved characteristic of the motorcycle unchanged, so there is nothing for a testing organisation to assess.

Scope of Delivery

The kit contains the Shiftholder and the parts needed to mount it, plus the fitting instructions.
