I've just started to ride my XT660x. It is way different to riding the sports bikes i've ridden in the past.

Whats killing me more than anything is i've always set my bikes up with a reverse shift patten, i.e.: one up, 5 down, It's a hang over from road racing

Has anyone ever tried to convert an XT to a reverse shift patten??
I might get better in time, but going from 1st, to 2nd, then back to 1st again, apart from being highly embarrassing, is doing my head in, i have to think to much about it.....

Any info greatly appreciated
