Need group buy.

I've gotta say Using Motul 300V, the shifting has been pretty good, way better than with Mobil 1!

"I've gotta say Using Motul 300V, the shifting has been pretty good, way better than with Mobil 1!"...Motul is the best IMO...best for shifting...Motul 7100 here...full syn.

Group buy sounds good...as long as the group is ready by tomorrow.lol

Gotta get Sebby to start doing these group buys or something. Predator Racing Discount!

I'm in! And I know C is too cause we've talked about the benefits of the star a few times.

I wonder if he is up at 6:19 am. Only way one way to find out.

He's a marine. He's up. Lol

He's working on it. Hopefully they will give a group deal.

I'm on it right now fellas! Thank you Fat, ya didn't wake me bro. Text me at 2am and I wouldn't mind!

If the price is right, I'll do my best to get in on this ...need a gen1 shift star..if not same as gen2.

36 hours later...

Sent several emails and left a voice message. Haven't gotten a response yet. I will keep ya informed as soon as I hear from Factory Pro.

You guys have got me thinking about this Mod again. I have owned 5 of these ZX14's now. Two have had this mod. The others I didn't touch. Moded is better of that you can bank on. Micro Bearing = Sweeeeeet

I'm gettin one.

Romes, check your PMs, bro.

OH--NO LOL -- I was prolly sleepin'. WAIT.6:26. heck yeah! I'm always up by 6 am. Usually 3:30.

Is there a differenc betwen years? Looks to be all part numbers are the same??
Seen a few on eBay but it only says 06-07 or 06-09 nothing pass 09???

On factory pro site it just shows the same part number for all years...

If you do a group buy ..
I'm in

Hey guys
came accross this as i bought a shift star kit here in the UK, now the engine is in a kitcar hope you don't mind!

Now i've fitted this and nautral to first and back again is great.

one thing that i've found confussing is the needing a screw driver to line up the gears when you fit the main basket back. i didn't need to do that it went straight back on. what does the split primary mean with the factory pro instructions

even in the manual it mentions a tool to align the gears but i didn't see where you would do that

anyone else go back without a tool!!

Edited to add i think they changed to a one piece gear?

cheers
john

I have one on my 10, and like Romans said I don't why I didn't do it sooner. It shifts so much better!

Is this still being done around here? Does this work for 2012 and up ZX14R's?

Yannih just installed one on his 07 then he went and bought a 2015. He will probably know. I doubt that he took the EVO out of the 07 though.

"anyone else go back without a tool!!"...I have one on my 2013,and my 07 had one.Both needed that screwdriver deal to align.

You have to pull the shift shaft out.IF your bike is on the sidestand,yer gonna have a seriously oiled floor...just a heads up;)

Yes, Mark @Factory Pro is awesome to deal with! The shift kit works, top quality parts! I have one on Priscilla and love it!

I have on of these Factory Pro EVO shift stars on the way for my 2012 ZX14R.

Part number: SHFT-EVO-K96

As of April 8th, 2015 it's only $163 bucks if ordered on Amazon.com with FREE SHIPPING!

Anyone with a second gen 14R that has tips for the install, please post it here....it's all super helpful to prospective buyers including me

I'm surprised guys!
As Rook said I added one to my old 07 and it was a great upgrade and made a substantial difference to the smoothness of gear selection on the stock 07 gearbox setup.
IMO the 07 definitely benifited from it and I would highly recommend this option on any Gen 1.
But the Gen 2's?
They upgraded the gearbox on these, not a lot but enough to make the difference when it came to smooth shifting.
When I first rode a Gen 2 the shifting was great. This was also the case on my newly purchased 2012 so I see no need to add an Evo shift star as it shifts smooth as is?
The stock 2012 shifts like an 07 with a shift star.
So not for me on my Gen 2.
And I'm a guy who loves adding modifications that I feel make a difference?
Comments?

I'll know more after I complete the install in my 2012. Parts are all on order.

My review might be obscured by other modifications done at the same time, since I will have an all new clutch pack, Brocks clutch mod kit, and an oil change in addition to this shift star kit.

I had all stock parts up til now, including a slipping clutch that turned out to have some issues (click HERE for that thread), as well as a good 2,500 miles since my last oil change. It wont be a true before and after comparison to see the effect of JUST the shift star mod in my bike, but I figured since I had her opened up and probably wont again for a long time....might as well throw it in now.

There's some guys here who have 'em installed in second-gens including the man himself Cblast. If he says it's an improvement it probably is!
