Healtech Quickshifter

[louisb]

Very nifty. Was pretty straight forward. Took me about two hours but had some light rain. Did oil and filter whilst there.
Be two years since I brought it next month. Only just fitted. Had an issue with first unit Bluetooth not working properly. Contacted bds racing and they changed it. After a few emails with healtech to make sure I wasn't being a numbpty. They was very good about it even though I purchased so long ago.
What can I say? Don't know what I waited for. Never had a quick shifter before. So itd like when you not ridden your bike for a while. Been in the garage for winter and you get out again etc. Smiling all the way!!! YES!!! Like a new machine. Can't wait to find stretches of road long enough to gun it.
Just started to fiddle with settings a bit. Left on auto mostly.

Found a leaf in the oil which had floated in. When I first spotted. It made me worry!

Cough, better late than never. Have uploaded the two setting screens I think that you need. Have actually taken mine off now as plan on selling soon.

Quickshifter's have me confused, as you change up you don't need to use the clutch lever, correct? and don't need to twist the throttle in between change, Correct? Just wind it back as you accelerate, but do you need to use the clutch lever when changing down?
And what time do you save? I can understand on a race track, but every other racer would have them, but whats the point on the road?
As for the rain on your bike need to get the wife/girlfriend holding the brolly for you

2 types of shifters, 1 for up changes, just cuts the ignition or fuel flow dependent on which 1 you have to unload the gearbox to enable the shift...
2 nd type and these are usually o.e.m., they  blip the revs as you hit the lever, automatically on the downshift, as you would when manually shifting down  gears, again unloading the box for the downshift and stopping wheel lock up if you ain got a slipper clutch.. 
just for fun on the road but does sound good and there is a time saving when going through the box and drag raceing your m8...

On ours (old stylee bikes) you literally hold the throttle open and bang it up through the gears.....whats the point on the road....? youll gain a good 10% on your acceleration (youll think your riding a new bike!) and yeah sounds cool as . Rob had problems with his healtech - mines been on for 4 years now with no issues (Mines a HM). Ive got a Healtech on the Hypermotard (nothing else will fit from what i can see) when my engine got stripped 18 months back or so (the QS had been on there for 18 months) the mechanic commented the gearbox was in perfect nick....if he said anything else i would have removed it.

The only thing is with the retro fit QS's like ours youll find a "Sweetspot" for the change. Change too low and itll feel clunky and stiff. Change to high and you have to be harder with the gear change.

Having said all of the above i dont use mine all of the time...far from it...only if i need to "catch" someone ro "leave" someone as it were....If you can afford it a translogic with an adjuster on the bars for the timing would be the most best option...not cheap though...but...y'get what you pays for....
