The shift is a hang over from catering to people used to Pommy bikes with RH shift .
Some old school racers prefered the RH shift so if a Jap bike had race pretentions they had the straight through shaft . TZ Yams had it for a while . Alternate shift patterns too , to really stuff you up :lol:
Ummmm let me see
