Pro Shift Kit
(arm and spring)

Hi Marc, I got the Pro Shift kit installed on my RMZ 450 and at the same time i had the transmission gears and other parts cleaned and polished up. I was able to hit the track and there is a definite and noticeable improvement over stock. So much it will take a few rides to get used to the ease of the shift, thanks so much for a great product. Cheers.

F-Pro Microbearing Detent Arm

Tortured by false neutrals and missed shifts? 
Damage to gearbox caused by missed shifts?

Part of the shifting problem is that there is just too much friction in the shift mechanism. Factory Pro produces a detent arm with a slick rotating ball bearing instead of a stock scratchy riveted disc. Had anybody asked, we would have fixed it in 08.

Reduce ugly and unattractive friction for virtually perfect shifting.
Make your transmission "snick" into gear and stay in gear.

Reducing the rotating friction allows the shift mechanism to rotate quicker and get the gear dogs more fully engaged - so they stay engaged under part throttle (as in when you are 15ft in the air over a set of triples).

This arm and recalibrated F-Pro spring are the solution in helping the 450 develop bulletproof shifting.

The tough, steel raced, Hybrid Ceramic Microbearing arm is the ultimate in friction reduction for this use. The STD Steel Microbearing arm is 98% as good as the Hybrid  (and $20 less expensive) - and both are way  slicker than the stock riveted roller.

 Installation: The detent arm and shift spring sit right under the clutch basket - so, it's just R&R the clutch basket to install.  About an hour.

      Hi Marc

2015, April - I have now tried the 3 parts from you guys, 10 hours of winter riding, 5 hours summer riding.

 RM-z450 08-19 Microbearing Detent Arm
 - F-Pro Competition Shift Spring -

Before: I had at least 1-3 missed shifts every single time out riding.
Now I have not had one single missed shift after I installed the parts.. SUPER , bike feels like new, super fast shifting, and I can focus on other important things out riding, not thinking about changing gear proper so I don't miss the gears.. 

THANKS! I have already recommend this products to all my friends. :)

    Works great!  It was easy to install.    S. Berger (rmz250)

     It's freggin awesome. Night and day difference.. I raced this weekend.. 4 motos and never a miss shift or false neutral   Dec 2013

  I had the new detent spring installed and also went with the Factory Pro arm - it doesn't have any slop/play like the stock unit does. Rode it today for the first time and it shifts like my 450 now. Not a single missed shift. That's the best spent mod I may have ever done,    Dec 2013

   I initially thought the Factory Pro arm and spring was very pricey, but what I learned, this is all these guys do. They have a niche and they do it well.
What I can say is this was one of the better mods I've done to a bike. My shifting is so predictable now. TDC51  Dec 2013

   I give it a 10 out 10.

F-Pro Shift Spring

Miss fewer shifts. Fewer false neutrals.

Suggest the Arm and the Spring for best  results.

Helps speed up shifting because the shift drum rotates quicker between shifts. Combine with the F-Pro Microbearing Shift Detent Arm for the sweetest results.

Our spring is SOMEWHAT stronger than the stock spring (08-12 450) - not like the overly stiff 13-16 450 stock spring.

Northern California's most unforgettable flying experience.  No experience required.  Open weekends!

The extension of the laboratory for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940). He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal use but well preserved.
