Shiftholder - Shift lever reinforcements
Some series of the models CB, GSX-R, R6, RSV or CBR were equipped from the factory with a very long shift lever shaft. It protrudes far beyond the engine case and there is no support. If you are often on the racetrack or stress the gearshift with an extremely intensive driving operation, the bearing bushings tend to wear out sooner or later. With a shift holder from the TecBike Online range, you can effectively counteract this problem.
Put an end to worn out bearing bushings: Gilles shifting shaft booster
If it works properly, the gearshiftshaft in a motorcycle does its job unseen and it is part of the transmission. As already mentioned, on some motorcycle models, including Suzuki, this shaft is comparatively long and it has to withstand the loads while riding without any additional support.
Appropriate bearing bushings are used to guide it and thus ensure accurate shifting. However, if the bushings are worn out due to intensive driving, they can no longer perform their task to the usual extent. The result is a gearshift that feels "sluggish".
If this damage is not repaired, oil will eventually leak from the engine. In the worst case scenario, there is even a risk of fractures or cracks in the engine case. With aGilles shifter booster, you can fix this design weakness in no time, saving your bike from damage.
The features of the shiftholder or gearshift booster
The primary function of the shiftholder or shift lever booster is to stabilize the shaft. By doing so, it simultaneously prevents the shift shaft from bending. The shift lever booster ensures precise guidance. Worn components and thus long shifting distances are a thing of the past.
Depending on the model, our shift shaft boosters are either needle bearing or plain bearing.
What is a needle bearing?
The so-called needle roller bearing belongs to the family of cylindrical roller bearings. They are characterized by a compact and comparatively small installation space and at the same time offer a high load carrying capacity.
The plain bearing
As the name suggests, two surfaces slide past each other in a plain bearing. To facilitate this movement, there is a thin lubricating film between them.
Further advantages of the Shiftholder
Due to the exact shaft guidance, difficulties during shifting are efficiently overcome or avoided. Since the existing original parts are less stressed by the shift shaft booster, wear and tear is also reduced.
This in turn not only makes your motorcycle happy, but also your wallet, as the costs for repairs and spare parts do not arise in the first place. A comprehensive selection of high-quality gearshift boosters from Gilles awaits you in the TecBike online shop. All products from this category are characterised by high-quality materials and a very precise manufacturing. A hard-anodised brass bushing is used for the shaft bearing in every shifter holder.
