FAQs

Can I use these with the factory shift rod?

The Gilles MUE2 kit comes with the necessary linkage components to accommodate its specific geometry and shift patterns.

Is the GP shift modification reversible?

Yes, you can swap between standard and GP shift patterns as often as needed by reorienting the gear arm.

Are the footpegs replaceable if damaged?

Yes, Gilles offers replacement parts for individual components of the rearset system.

Do I need to bleed the rear brake to install this?

If you are only adjusting the lever position, you usually do not need to bleed the system; however, if you remove the master cylinder from the old rearset, you must bleed the rear brake.

Are these rearsets compatible with the stock exhaust?

These are designed to work with most standard exhaust configurations, though some aftermarket high-mount exhausts may interfere with clearance.

How often should I lubricate the bearings?

It is recommended to inspect and lubricate the bearing points during every major oil change or after riding in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Excessive play in shift lever

Check that the double ball bearing connections are tight and that the shift rod is properly adjusted to neutral tension.

Footrest will not lock into position

Ensure the push-and-rotate mechanism is fully engaged and free of debris or grit.

Rear brake drag

Verify that the brake master cylinder pushrod has slight free-play when the brake lever is in the resting position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast and easy footrest adjustment
  • High-quality, play-free lever operation via double ball bearings
  • Switchable to GP shift pattern without extra parts
  • Robust protection with included heel guards
  • Striking, modern design

Cons

  • Premium pricing reflects high build quality
  • Requires mechanical knowledge for proper setup
  • Footpeg adjustment range may be more limited than track-only fixed rearsets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This unit is specifically designed for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (MUE2-S01). Installation should be performed on a level surface with the motorcycle supported by a paddock stand.

  1. Remove the stock rearset assemblies, taking care to retain any necessary OEM mounting hardware not replaced by the kit.
  2. Install the Gilles MUE2 base plate, ensuring all mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer’s specification using medium-strength thread locker.
  3. Adjust footrest positions using the push-and-rotate mechanism until the desired geometry is achieved.
  4. Verify that the brake light switch and rear brake master cylinder pushrod are correctly aligned.

For maintenance, periodically check all bolts for vibration-induced loosening. Clean the ball bearings with a light degreaser and apply a high-quality, dry lubricant to keep lever action smooth throughout the season.
