Reverse shifting is commonly seen in professional motorcycle racing because allows for quicker gear changes and acceleration through tight corners. Moving one bolt on the 450SS shifter changes the position of the linkage, flipping the shift pattern. This setup allows for faster and smoother gear changes: push down for upshifts and pull up for downshifts. |
