Description
Our Gear Shift Supports are what Racetorx is best known for — the upgrade that transforms the way your bike shifts. Now available for the Kawasaki Z1000, this support stabilises the gear shift shaft, reducing flex and giving you a firmer, more precise shift every time.
The first-generation Z1000 (2003–2006) is known for strong performance, but the OEM shift shaft can move under load, creating vague gear engagement, clunky shifts, or even occasional false neutrals.
The Racetorx support eliminates this by keeping the shaft perfectly aligned throughout the shift movement.
The result?
Cleaner shifts, better feedback, and more confidence whether you’re cruising or riding aggressively.

Why Upgrade?
The OEM Z1000 shift mechanism can flex when aggressive shifting or quick gear transitions take place. This flex reduces the accuracy of gear engagement and causes:
✔ Inconsistent shifting
✔ Missed gears
✔ Vague or sloppy shift feel
✔ Occasional false neutrals
The Racetorx Gear Shift Support stabilises the shift shaft and ensures consistent movement through the gearbox selector drum and dogs, resulting in:
Sharper gear changes
Improved shift feel
More reliable gear engagement
Long-term gearbox protection
A small, simple upgrade — with a big improvement to how your Z1000 rides.
