The Mystic Foot Leverz~???

[Disdain]

So everyone knows I ride an 06 silver and black GG(which is ghetto gangsta for "Gixxer Grand")

I have been riding it for about a year now ( second bike ) and i noticed on the right side.... theres this little arm-bar lever thingy...

It kinda looks like the gear shifter on the left... but I tried pulling up with it to switch gears and it didnt move...

I am afraid to push it down... cause if you cant upshift with it.. I dont wanna know if you can down shift.. ( especially if I accidently did it withotu the clutch in)

it looks just like the silver lever in this pic..

...It's the magical "OverDrive Shifter"...

Circle what you are talking about, cause I'm thinking ur talking about the brake...jackass :)

[schlizzag]

i dont even see what you're talking about - just the brake and, uh, is that chain mail? interesting...

[Disdain]

the silver lever.. next to the ferring... the only lever on the screen..

[JGruberman]

Do I hear photoshop anyone? Even mspaint?

[Johnny Cochran]

You said 06 GG right? Then yeah, it's that OD shifter...think of it as geared NOS and if you shift/hit it just right, you can fly

[Disdain]

I didnt know by bike came with NOS... just the sticker...

thats awesome!!!!!

[Johnny Cochran]

Yeah, but you have slam it hard, down-wards. To get the best result, try to get all of you weight on it, even if you have to stand up and lean a little to the right to make sure that every ounce of your body is concentrated on that little slab of metal. It's guaranteed to give you a ride of your life!

[schlizzag]

haha i'm... so lost

[Disdain]

wootage.. indeed.. cant wait to try it with my girl on the back..

[Johnny Cochran]

Make sure you get someone following you with a vid-camera and post up the results!!

[Disdain]

[schlizzag]

[Johnny Cochran]

I wouldn't say ridiculous...I'd say bored at work

[Disdain]

[schlizzag]

[Johnny Cochran]

UofA for the WEEN!! lol....Gaud I hate UofA, except for the car washes that the WildCat ladies do every now and again...those are nice...

[schlizzag]

where are these car washes you speak of...?

[Johnny Cochran]

They were a few years back (probably before your time) but usually right there on Speedway, just west of a few of the dorms, don't remember which ones...but they took place at (I think) a Shell station...maybe it was a Circle K...meh, don't remember

[357Magnum]

Ok seriously..pick a fucking name and stick with it lol

if it changes again. im locking it to "Jackass"

[Johnny Cochran]

Sweet!!!

[schlizzag]

wait, you lived in tucson, then? i never caught that

[Johnny Cochran]

My brother has lived down there for the last, oh I don't know, 8 - 9 years or so...when I was in the Army and I'd come home on leave I'd go stay down there with him for a few days here and there.

Is this the serious drama part?

[flawless]

Yep definitely overdrive. Heres the manual from suzuki;

"Overdrive;
-To engage Suzuki overdrive - The lever is located on the right rearset. A swift and direct downward force will engage Suzuki overdrive. Note: The bike must be at speed in 6th gear for the overdrive to engage properly. Trying to engage overdrive in any other gear will cause the bike to act "funny" therefore only attempt to engage overdrive in 6th gear."


Straight from the Suzuki manual.

[schlizzag]

is "funny" a technical term?
