Do all years have the plastic bush, or did Kawasaki change them for later models?
XJ600, VFR800, CBR1100, Varadero1000, CBR1100, STX1300, GTR1400 ?

All the GTR's which I have seen have the usual plastic bush, mine looked ok but was a bit sloppy, my modified one is on its way back to me to be run in nicely. Bike looks a bit sad sat there with no gear came.

Ducati owner now but I used to have a Black one, the fastest version.

Mine is fitted and no more slop. Nice positive action.  :banana: :banana: :clap: :yes: :biker3:
Plastic bush was pretty worn after 70k miles of abuse.
Will get ridden properly on Monday morning but around my local roads feels good and positive.
Thanks Charlie.  :flowers:

Thank you all for your interest in the bearing mod I have now sent out /sending all 10 kits by monday , its nice that such a relatively easy mod can make a worthwhile improvement , should anyone require a kit I will  restock at the end of this month if there is enough demand once again thanks all.
I can now work on some other things I have on my list and maybe do some jobs of the bosses list .
All the best
Charlie

Cheers charlie mod fitted ,,,its now nice and  snug....just the way i like it !!!!!!

Life's too short to piss about so go on.... live it NOW!

Fitted mine back on easy enough and altered the angle of the gear change as well, so much better than before, not a single missed gear going up the box and so much more positive going back down, even at the "slow" speeds I was going.

Thanks Charlie

Mine has arrived and will be fitted next week

300 miles done since fitting mine and loving it.
Gears snick in with minimal effort, nice and positive feel.
Just got a new PR4GT front fitted too so the morning blast along the country lanes is even more enjoyable.  :banana: :banana:

Moayling has arrived at my house ( we are off to France for the weekend, not as a couple I might add  :ohplease: ), but with a few other biker mates. Charlie very kindly sent the kit direct to me and I have been charge with fitting it to Mo's bike prior to setting off. J  Mod job now done   :clap:  Thanks Charlie  :biker3:

Good job!  :clap:
Thanks for prompt supply and updates.
Easy fit (apart from tightening the 13mm nylock!  :censored:) and much improved shifting! Thanks Charlie! 👍
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

Huge thanks to Charlie - I never realised how sloppy my gear lever was until yesterday. Gear changes are now crisp and precise.

Not only did Charlie invite me over to save on the postage (we're only a fast blast apart), but he fitted it for me as well! Great to watch a proper engineer at work. Plus, his good lady made me a coffee. Plus Charlie is a thoroughly nice bloke :yes:

Thanks again, Charlie.

Cheers
