    If you install that shifter and the rod is parallel to it, the bike will shift GP and will need a 'pull' sensor.

    The $$ question is, if you install the part onto the transmission shaft upside down for standard shifting pattern, will the rod connecting the two clear everything ok? If so... you'll need a 'push' sensor.

    What style sensor is the one you bought?

    On the paper work it says (Standard and GP kit ), But the first question I asked the seller was is it GP or standard, he said standard , either way I was getting it . Back in the day I had a ZR1 Kwa 900 shifted on the left side of the bike and at the same time I was racing on my Bultaco 250 pursang shifted on the right side, never missed a gear.So going to GP would still doable.

    Super! It's the same kit exactly, with a different sensor
    That means the rod will clear in the standard shift pattern Still very pretty.

    Cooter - I know the bike is still relatively 'new' to you, but how does it seem to be maintenance-wise? I'm fairly committed to owning/maintaining Buells for (among other things) keeping great examples of Erik's engineering on the road for the long haul, regardless of whether or not some version of Buell/EBR is in business.

    That said, after this weeks hellish experience working on the Yamaha for a friend, I want to know what I'm signing up for if I decide to do the EBR thing as well at some point.

    Been flawless so far Just a service reminder at 600 miles. Oil change is easy (2 drain plugs) and clean, Chain slack (30mm) hadn't moved, and I'm sure the factory wanted a valve lash check (engine rotate) for the first year bikes especially. I'll get to that I believe it's shim under bucket and they're super rock solid. I've yet to have to adjust any motor under 30k miles, but I will check it though as a sign of future issues.

    I like this bike a LOT. In 20 years 2037(!!!) if I need a part I can't find, I'll have my robot buddy make me one with Mr. Fusion.

    vicenzajay,

    I have 14,000mi on my RX. The only major was having the valves re-shimmed. That was after 9000 mi-supposed to be done at 6000. That was a $500 job including an oil/filter change. It definitely needed to be done as all the valves were all out of spec. Some wag on here referred to it is a "horsepower tax"--true enough. Complex job.

    Aside from that -- well I raised the bars and as on all my chain drive bikes added a Loobman oiler. On my third set of tires, this time Metzeler road tecs. They were put on at 12,000 mi and are wearing very well. I had the oil changed at 12,000 also and just checked it this morning after a "brisk" 1200 mile burn--same levels as when put in but a little blacker.

    So knock wood and so far so good etc.

    Opto

    All good info....the valve re-shim is the only thing I wouldn't be familiar with in this case. Hopefully that's a thing just about any indy tech can do?

    Opto, you have 14K on an RX? You win the hard-taint award

    V: $500 for a valve adjust and oil change every 6000 miles is really reasonable (Ever own a DUCATI??). Ya any decent shop should be able to do it. Nothing special about the EBR that they can't youtube I'd consider having them do it, if I trusted anyone to touch my stuff...
