G'day,
I rode an R! with a KILN shift kit last weekend, unbelievable upshifting with the throttle pinned WFO.
Not so good when riding "normally". The biggest thing is to overcome is the usual mind set of rolling off the throttle to change up, but once used to it .....it's like riding an automatic !!
Manufacturer reckons it is actually easier on the transmission because of the smoothness in the upshift.
Down shifting as per normal.
I personally wouldn't bother because if your not fangin' it, it is not as smooth as it could be.
Great fun though.
When I drag the Bus I upshift with no clutch...it doesn't seem to object, although I do rip the skin off the top of my big toe !!
