A few vlogs coming out Thailand shows them shifting and although I can't understand what they're saying, the shift up is clearly down...weird...maybe they modified it with Cub parts? Is that even possible?I think the Supercub might be a reversed shifting pattern (down vs. up), not sure though. I'm pretty sure the CT125 is the same as the US Trail 125 (4 up).

I wouldn't do it either but I wonder if this is a thing over there...I doubt they're modified, more likely I'm totally incorrect. If they do shift down though, I must say it's the oddest thing ever to change up a standard. It's like putting the gas on the left and the brake on the right.
gear shift drum (4) gear shift drum stopper plate (5) change switch contact cap (14) did I get the numbers right? thanksThis thread discusses the different shift patterns. To convert to the USA & Australian market shift pattern you will likely need to replace the gearshift drum, the gearshift drum stopper plate (a.k.a. gear indexer or star plate), and the gear change switch contact cap.
In this 2020-2022 JA55 model parts diagram below the parts with "IN" next to them are Indonesian market which has the rotary shifter, while the "U" ones are Australian market and should be the same as the USA.
