Watching this makes me want to get the credit card out :eek


Where do they wire into,?

[Dead Eye]

Do quickshifters work on the downshift as well?

Do love the sound of that Daytona though, the whine and popping is awesome ^.^

[stevierst]

He needs to stop undertaking though! [emoji35]

Naughty!

You might struggle to find something for a Fazer, but I'd be interested if you do.


As for working on the down shift? The short answer is "No". However one or two of the very latest (2015) bikes have it as a feature. A lot easier to make it work when you can play with the ECU as the bike needs to automatically blip the throttle to ease things along. Together with a few other things as well I would guess.

[bigralphie]

a slipper clutch helps too

[fazersharp]

I did not see him undertake although my playback is a bit jumpy

Nah you won't, i fitted a translogic to my gen1, you can just see the shifter on the linkage rod, easy peasy to wire up if your confident with a soldiering iron and your bikes loom, take ign cut to coils, positive and neutral to battery.

Sorted

I have them on every bike, even fitted one on my gs !!

Good to know, thanks. I know a tame sparks so I may install one on my project Fazer at some point.


Nice rear sets, what make are they?

[devilsyam]

i mhave dyno quick shifter and the sp quickshifter which is the better of the two

[fazersharp]

Could you tell me how they work - what they do

[Ruby Racing]

Enables you to change gear without rolling off the throttle by cutting the sparks to the spark plugs for a fraction of a second, or by cutting the fuel supply. This takes the load of the motor enabling the next gear to be selected. Connected to the gear shift so when you change up it senses it and cuts the spark or fuel supply.


It's only really needed for racing as it reduces the time you're off the throttle by fractions of a second. Over the course of a race those fractions add up to faster lap times.

[fazersharp]

Thanks for that
But still not fully clear. So it is an automated clucthless change in like that when doing clutchless changes you put pressure on the gear change leaver and when you blip the throttle off and on the gear slips in, so with a quick shifter no pre pressure on leaver is needed and the shifter senses the gear leaver moving and effectively does the throttle off - on for you,  is that it ?
So its not a quickshifter but rather a (quicker shifter )

Its just that I kind of thought a quickshifter would just work from pressing a button to change gear

[Ruby Racing]

You've got it.


You can get shifters that work using a button, however I think they are mainly found on drag bikes.

[brooker81]

Ive got mine on my gen 2 my favorite mod. :eek I love it they dont work on downshift and you are not meant to use it under 3k revs either (Never Happens lol) i think basically they cut the spark for a millisecond or 2 enabling u to quickshift up. Steve rode my gen2 with quickshifter fitted this year.

Not true, especially as new bikes of today have these "factory fitted" on one of the bikes i have, the quickshifter is factory fitted and it also alloys downshifts ! You roll off the throttle and as you tap the lever it blips the throttle and changes down a gear without the need to pull the clutch lever in ! the bike in question ain't a sport bike either.

Don't be fooled by bods whom say they can do the same by rolling off the throttle and quickly snapping up on the gear lever ! They can't, a quickshifter allows you to change gear 4x faster than a blink of the eye.

[Ruby Racing]

I disagree. You don't "need" a quick shifter on the road. It may be a nice thing to have, but I've never needed one on the road. When do you really need to change gear a fraction of a second faster on the road? I can't think of one instance.

[stevierst]

It's immense fun in a novel sort of way! Paul Brookers gen II suited it really well.

I wouldn't call it 'a necessity', but then again what is really?

[noggythenog]

I would love a quick shifter and i cant wait for brookers to stop working :b




They are just some cool ass bling aint they 8) [size=78%]............but acceptable..............if someone said they could get a device to make their bike an automatic then they'd prob say that wasnt so cool and a bit shit coz having an automatic just aint bling but quick shifters have just enough credibility to warrant the excuse to have them whilst not taking away full control.[/size]


If i was looking for an excuse to buy one then i would say that they are freeing up 1 more action of the brain and hence that attention can then be focused on other aspects like steering......every little helps

[slimwilly]

Many manufacturers are now fitting quickshifters as standard, not a neccessity but a nice thing to have.
And i am sure it will save wear on the clutch actuator system,lever,pivots,cables ect,

[devilsyam]

there a bit odd at first to get used to - i put a switch in line so can turn mine on/off
just gives me a choice
