Hi ,

Which model is best?

thanks

yes.
there are many of them out there.since you are in UK you should have choices.
look at those 2 stroke racers use.

I don't like the things. Every race bike I've ridden that has one feels awful. Clunky and crude is the best way to describe it. Coming from a mechanical background I feel a great deal of sympathy for a gearbox that has to take the sort of abuse a quickshifter gives it.

I certainly wouldn't fit one to a road bike.

actually quick shifters are less abuse to gearbox than riders.

Do a search for the HM quickshifter. IMHO this works so slick you dont even know your changing gear!.

I used a trickshifter 2 on my race injected SV. Worked a treat.

They only tend to be notchy if not set up right

I think maybe it's because I'm just not used to them, and thinking about it I might possibly back off the throttle slightly, as if I'm doing a clutchless manual shift. Next time I ride Danny's 10R I'll just unplug it from the PC3 before I get on.

you dont back of the throttle.you do nothing other than kick shift lever.
you do need to set it up before use.

It's set up fine for the guy who races the bike, his race results will show that. I know exactly how to use the thing in theory, but more than 30 years of backing the throttle off for a gearchange might be getting in the way of doing it how it's meant to be done.

Nothing wrong with the shifter last time I watched Danny obliterate the opposition at Brands.;)

I know, it's me and all me that's the problem with it. Having said that, I fitted new rearsets last weekend, so it has to go to R+T at Aylesbury for Chris to fit the gearshifter switch and set it up on the dyno.

Have you seen next year's racebike? It's linked from www.imbergracing.co.uk
