【G-Craft】Shift Guide (Gatchiri-kun) Review

Easy to install and the quality and feel is perfect.

I installed it to ensure the shift operation when installing the Rear Sets, and I think it will be effective in the normal step as well as tightly.
The installation was easy and the quality and feel of the product is perfect, but I wish it were less expensive.

The sense of moderation is tight.

Our predecessors explained to us the complicated mechanism around the shift shaft and said that if it is installed, it is definitely recommended to install these parts to ensure fee rings and up-down and to prevent deterioration due to wear over time.
First of all, the product was supposed to be solid, but unfortunately, there was an uneven surface near the rear mounting area due to a fall.
The RearMounting Bolt is a part of the Gold seat, so I used a file to break in the part in question! I guess it could be a defect in shipping, but the manufacturer's packaging was also only in a Vinyl bag! I'm not sure.
The installation itself is simply a matter of replacing the supplied Hexagonal bolt with the supplied color, OEMPlus head bolt in two places as shown in the image, and then installing the product and fixing it in place.
When installing through the shaft, simply insert the shaft by greasing the inside side, then insert the attached collar between the Engine side and Guide side and bolt it in place.
The instruction manual said to apply a small amount of grease to the collar, so I applied it before installation and finally tightened the collar using the Manual Torque.
Already installed penske lighting footpeg (Barts commonly referred to as Rear Sets) and Guide were installed with no problems.
When installing, the usual precautions are to insert the Bearing and the Shaft on the Engine side. (Relatively loose, unlike normal Bearing insertions) goes in easily without any hardness or reluctance, I applied a small amount inside and on the surface of Bearing and installed it.
Since the bearings are ShieldType, it is important to pay attention to the shielding when inserting the shafts, as it will affect the maintenance and the life of the parts later on.
Although there is almost no play in the body when installing the guide, we fine-tuned and fixed it so that the bearing load is in a neutral position relative to the shift shaft.
After installation of the guide, return the shafts of the rear sets to complete the installation.
The shift was certainly a little lighter than the OEMShift, but after the Rear Sets were installed, a sense of moderation was felt, and a more solid feel was added.
In the test run, I was relieved to see that the − indicator on the GEAR intermediate display is no longer displayed on the Meter.
Even in the Practice Course, GEAR loss is virtually eliminated if the operation is not too lax.
The impression after installation varies depending on the wear and tear of the shift shaft, but it increases the sense of moderation and the certainty of shift operation. View detail

Easy installation and effective

I installed it on my Circuit Running car and it works well as a shift guide.
The installation itself can be done without any problem by those who can perform simple maintenance if they read the Instruction Manual properly.
No special tools are required.

When shifting the rod, does the shift rod itself bend when shifting the rod before and after installation? Does it wobble? Does the force escape? The feeling of the shift rod itself bending or wobbling when shifting has disappeared.
GEAR is now going into Smooth, so it feels good to run on the Circuit.

The price seems a little high, but this can't be helped because there is not much of the car in circulation as a model. View detail

Prevention of warpage and aging deterioration

Since it was introduced with a new motorcycle, there is no large rattle in the shift rod and the shift feeling is tight with the Rear Sets, so it is hard to feel the change of fee ring-up improvement by adding the shift guide. I hope it will lead to the prevention of rattling of the mission and the prevention of deterioration of the internal shift drum, so it is a good investment in the long run;
I'm looking forward to the suppression effect of entering the MiracleZone-like GEAR…
Neutral is now tightly recognizable by its toes, and as the name of the product suggests, it is tightly firm reinforcing parts around the Shift;
I think you will see its true value in the early spring touring;

＋The +M6 bolt has been replaced by a Stainless cap bolt, and the product has also been changed to Material:The bearing that comes with the Aluminum product has no rattling and comes with a rubber seal to prevent dust from entering the product as seen on the Radio controlBuggy, so I think it is a good product in Large size.
Other products are just press-fitted bearings or dry bushings without rubber seals, so I think PlusPoint has thoughtfully produced this product; View detail

It improved gear changing of the bike!

About quality and texture: The product is made of aluminium allow, and is beautifully made. Didnt expect it too have that level of quality for a (relatively) simple part. The brand is also etched on the body and is visible from the side, even after instalation. About the feeling of use: It improved the snappiness of gear changing. Products to buy together: There is no need to buy any other product as it comes with all neccesary nuts and bolts. Difficulty of installation: Very easy, even for me, a diy home mechanic. Cost performance and comparison with other products: It is relatively expensive when considering the simplicity of the design, but the level of build quality is apparent. So I guess you get what you pay for. About shipping and packaging: As usual from Webike and Japan, packaging was top notch and delivery was quick. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: None. View detail
