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.
