Pete You wouldn't happen to have part numbers would you? Seems like something I want to print out & stick in the service amnual for future reference.

The kit includes a clutch cover gasket , a new stiffer shift spring & a new heavier duty shift cam. It's located behind the cluch assembly. I installed mine after I put 4000km on the new motor at the same time I installed a new Barnett HD clutch kit & HD spring kit. The purpose for the shift kit is to help reduce or eliminate missed shifts. Personally,I was looking to stiffen up my shifter pedal a bit because I'm used to harder shifting bikes & find my GTS was a little too soft in the shifter pedal feel. Everything works so well in a blueprinted motor that sometimes the additions of special effects items are required to make certain things feel just right.
