potatobroxd Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Hi guys, just finished installing the healtech quickshifter on my z900, was wondering how hard should the shift feel? The shift lever when upshifting with the quickshifter feels heavier than with the clutched pull in --> should this be the case? I havent ever tried a quickshifter so i cant compare Quote
Stu Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Mine is the same People claim its 10% heavier! Not sure how they are measuring 10% on it though 1 Quote
geofferz Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Mine is deffo heavier than with the clutch pulled in and of course it must be, as the qs itself has to first pull the clutch in then shift up/down in one action. 1 Quote

A quick shifter doesn't pull the clutch in it just cuts the power to unload the power to allow the gear change 1 Quote
MikeHorton Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Yep the one on my tracer felt heavier too but soon got used to it 1 Quote

Mr Fro Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 I find mine a bit clunky at low to medium revs while pootling around but nice and slick up the rev range when giving it some beans. Mine is a homebrew system though but it works on the same principle. 1 Quote

bonio Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Mine's definitely heavier than with the clutch in. I don't remember ever using one on any bike where it didn't have at least a slightly heavier feel. Quote

Gerontious Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 I think, that as my bike has two clutches, when the bike is in one gear the change is instant (after pressing the button) because the clutch is already 'in' on the next gear. and as soon as I change gear the next gear is ready to go. clickety click. This is normal.. but, I have to admit its great fun when I turn the auto 'off'. and ride in manual mode. The great upside of this would be for that mythical pillion, there is zero chance of helmet knock. as there is no momentary loss of power, or if there is its so short that it effectively doesn't happen. all in all its great fun. into second gear and redline it. click - 3rd. click 4th. click - 5th. and the same going down the gears... its a hoot.

Mickly Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 I achieve the same effect on the Speedtriple but rolling off the throttle a tiny fraction & then a clutchless up change is a doddle Quote

Sounds like pure luxury that thing! It must feel butter smooth coming stock from honda. Wow would love to try riding the africa twin sometime in the future Quote
