BAKER Drivetrain Cruise Drive 6-Speed Shift Kit with M8 Part Number CD6-602-M8

Shift Kit - Cruise Drive - Smooth - M8

The BAKER Drivetrain Cruise Drive 6-Speed Shift Kit with part number CD6-602-M8 is engineered for smooth, precise shifting performance on your motorcycle. Inspired by the design principles that made the original Baker 6-Speed overdrive shift so reliable, this kit enhances your transmission with advanced components and thoughtful engineering. The shift drum is machined from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum extrusion stock, providing a significant upgrade in durability and resistance to wear over stock parts. This robust construction ensures longevity and consistent performance under demanding riding conditions. The inclusion of a pillow block, also machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, further reinforces the assembly, offering improved strength and stability for precise gear engagement. The kit features a redundant neutral feature and optimized ratchet pawl geometry, making it easier for riders to find neutral on the first attempt, thereby improving safety and convenience during gear shifts. Additionally, the advanced geometry incorporated into the fork pin grooves and the integration of a linear detent bearing on the right side mounting plate contribute to smoother, more positive shifts. The fixed spindle drum design reduces rotational friction, decreasing rider effort and facilitating effortless gear changes. Precision machining of the spindle and drum ensures the most durable shift drum available, capable of withstanding the rigors of daily use. The kit includes gaskets and fasteners for a complete installation, which is straightforward and does not require disassembly of the stock gearset from the bearing door—simply remove the stock shift drum and replace it with the BAKER Smooth Shift Kit Drum. This direct bolt-in design reuses existing shift forks, pawl, pawl centering pin, and shift rods, minimizing installation time and complexity. Made in the USA, the BAKER Drivetrain Shift Kit guarantees high-quality craftsmanship and reliable performance for your motorcycle’s transmission system.
