jedibiker Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 I know to some this is daft but bare with me. Ive never had a bike with it on, and the z1000sx has arrived and as i wanted to change the gear lever so it doesnt feel like im lifting my toe so high notice this device. is it an actual quickshifter so i can change gear at any rev etc, or something else. cheers Quote
Stu Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Its a quick shifter Ride the bike and while you have the power on without reducing the throttle just change gear It will cut the ignition and allow a gear change then be back on power again they work really well but can take a little to get used to Quote
manxie49 Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 I'm presuming it's an upshift only? If so, as Stu says, keep the power on and upshift through the gears. I have one and absolutely love it, especially for the fast runs. Its also great if you have a pillion, makes the shift transition smoother and helps stop that helmet clash you sometimes get with someone on the back. Not sure about your one but on mine it recommends not to use it between 1st and 2nd gear, above 2nd gear though no issues. 1 Quote
jedibiker Posted June 16, 2022 Author Posted June 16, 2022 well thats a huge bonus. can it be adjusted so the lever a little lower, assuming this is now in control of that Quote

Never had to adjust my lever though, but it doesn't look to be a problem. Maybe someone here with a little more knowledge of the system will know more Quote
