VERSER
Shift pattern for racing
The shift pattern can be re-
versed for racing by changing
the position of the selector
rod. Reversing the shift pat-
tern means that the gearshift
lever is lifted up for 1st gear
and pressed down for all the
other gears. This is the reverse
of the arrangement for riding
on public roads.
