FAQs

Can I use these rearsets for street riding?

Yes, they are suitable for both street and track, though they offer a more aggressive, rear-set position than stock components.

Is the GP shift conversion permanent?

No, the design allows you to switch back and forth between standard and GP shifting as often as you like by adjusting the shift rod.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Standard metric hex keys, a torque wrench, and a set of combination wrenches are typically sufficient for installation.

Are replacement parts available if I crash?

Yes, Gilles offers individual replacement components, such as pegs and levers, for most of their rearset systems.

Will this affect my ABS system?

No, this rearset is designed to maintain compatibility with the OEM braking system, including ABS lines and sensors.

Troubleshooting

Shift lever feels stiff or sticky

Clean the pivot points of any road grit and ensure the double ball bearings are properly lubricated with a light silicone or lithium grease.

Rearset components loosening after installation

Verify that all bolts were installed with the correct strength of medium-grade thread-locker and re-torque to the specified setting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-precision ergonomic customization
  • Extremely smooth lever action due to dual ball bearings
  • Effortless transition to GP shift pattern
  • Durable, lightweight construction
  • Visually striking design elements

Cons

  • Requires mechanical aptitude for proper installation
  • More aggressive posture may be less comfortable for long-distance touring
  • Higher price point compared to entry-level rearsets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This rearset is specifically engineered for the Yamaha YZF-R1 1000 ABS (2015-2022). Setup should be performed on a level surface with the bike secured on a paddock stand. Ensure all mounting bolts are torqued to factory specifications using a thread-locking compound where recommended. For maintenance, periodically clean the pivot points of the levers and the adjustment mechanisms to prevent debris accumulation. Lubricate the ball bearings with a light, non-binding lubricant to maintain the smooth operation signature to the MUE2 line.
