SATO RACING Shift Spindle Holder for 2008-2015 KTM 1190 RC8 / RC8R (part# KTM-RC8RS-SHDR) is a support bracket for the shift spindle, reinforcing it to reduce lateral play in the spindle shaft, for more consistent and precise shifting and extra durability in heavy-duty use. This specialized part was originally developed for endurance racing, where racing rear sets and non-standard shifter setups can put extra stress on the spindle. Support bracket and spacer collars are precision CNC-machined from high strength billet aluminum with a Silver (natural metal) anodized finish, with stainless steel bolts and and miniature stainless bearings.
NOTE: This part is designed for installation with the stock KTM clutch slave cylinder. If installing with an aftermarket slave cylinder that is a different shape, we cannot guarantee compatibility. Bundled with this Shift Spindle Holder is our RC8/R Reverse Shift Plate (part# KTM-RC8RS-RSP). It is an adapter bracket for the shift spindle that lets you use reverse (GP-style) shift pattern. This track-engineered part works well with SATO RACING RC8 Rear Sets or other aftermarket rearsets that sit higher than stock. Made of high strength anodized billet aluminum, with stainless steel bolts.
