Gear lever throw - DP rear-sets

razz · Dec 17, 2015

Hello from England!
The gear lever throw on a 1299 with OEM linkage is 35mm (one and three-eighths inches). I find it too much and would like to reduce it. Somebody somewhere mentioned to me in passing that the DP rear-sets reduce the throw. Could somebody with the DP part fitted and using the standard shift pattern measure the lever throw for me?

CNC racing's RPS rearset also has an option for shorter throws for shifts too.

Can you describe which adjustment shortens the throw? Their instructions outline the differences between std and GP patterns, but I can't figure out how to shorten the throw on the shift stroke itself. I've been staring at them since this first came up and .... Well.... Maybe I am just slow.

For where the shift rod is threaded to the shifting lever there are two holes. Top and bottom. The top will retain normal throw for shifting and the bottom will be used for short throws.

The hole far below on the same plate will be used for reverse shifting (GP Shift).

Perfect - thanks. I had that backwards in my mind.

There are 2 settings for lever throw with the DP part.
How exactly do you measure lever throw so my measurement is consistent with yours.

This is what I did:

Put a ruler next to the peg on the lever. Starting with the the peg in the 'idle' position, move it up as if changing gear until it reaches the limit of its travel. The amount of movement is the lever 'throw'. Repeat the operation pushing the lever downwards.

I think that for the throw measure to be representative, it has to be measuread as an angle. This will tell you how much you need to move your foot (up/down) in order to shift gears. I think the angle can be measured taking the center of the peg as the pivot point, and for example measuring how many degrees are needed in order to engage 2nd. gear from neutral.

If you agree and you can make this measurement, let me know and I'll do the same so you can compare.

Cheers

Hi again,
Measuring a smallish angle isn't particularly easy. I would prefer to know just how far the peg moves along its circumference, as per my previous post. That will be enough to indicate how much the DP rear-sets reduce the pedal throw.

Thanks

In the DP rearsets, the length of the shift lever is adjustable. The movement along the circumference is greatly affected by the lever length. If I measure as you suggest, this will not give you any useful information.

Sorry

I had the DP rear sets fitted to my 899, they look great and have an improved shift action over standard however the range of adjustment isn't great like most after market rear sets.
There isn't a lot of movement to play with on the gear shift arm and even in the lowest setting they put the pegs 1 inch hire than the standard rear sets.
For the kind of adjustment you are after I would look elsewhere, Lightech, CNC & Ducabike make nice rear sets with a lot more adjustment than the DP ones, they are all at least £200 pounds cheaper as well.
I am waiting for Rizoma to produce rear sets for the 1299, total quality and look great.

Got the Gia Moto sets on mine, and the DP reverse shift kit. Aligned the arm angle on the shaft coming out from the gearbox with the pivot/attachment angle on the gear pedal, and now the lever throw is much better
