Finally got the 1198 ... delivered today, had a quick blast and omfg, what an awesome bike, i thought my aprilia rsv was good but this blows it away, handling seems spot on for and brakes are awesome. But you lot know this already lol only thing i aint keen on is the reverse shift .... previous owner obviously changed it, 25 years of riding with normal shift is the problem lol Easy to change back or try and live with it?
Should be able to flip the linkage over mate, I guess you're is upright off the spline, should sit underneath it, ie a down change will pull the bar and rotate the shift spline anti clockwise
Yep no linkage ... will see how i get on with the reverse set up ... if i dont like it I'll be on the hunt for OE rearsets lol
Lovely bike, the pipes are lush also. The rear sets do look stock though mate so it's likely just linkage different
Yeah it looks like a lever straight on the gear shaft, so just need the shift rod and lever .... if put a post in the wanted section.
Nice, BB. I have those Akra's, make sure your dash says 1198 racing when you turn it on. Mine didn't and it brought me a world of pain, including toasted balls.
