Any 600cc with quick shifter?

Sorry guys, what does WOT mean? Wide open throttle?

The problem is once you go quick shifter, you can't go back. It's like once you try cruise control, you don't want to go back. It's 'little things' that matters. It is not necessary nor do I think is cool.
 
Pointless feature on a streetbike
 
I have 2 bikes with a quick shifter. Neither one is my race bike!

The one that came with an OEM quick shifter works fantastic. Only problem is that I use reverse shift pattern and it won't work in the other direction - not even by being reflashed; there's something to do with the sensor itself (which is a strain gauge, not a simple switch) that won't work the other way. So, I don't have it enabled. I only used it for the short time in which I rode the bike with the shift pattern the normal way. At least for now, lack of quick shifter was much more acceptable than forcing the operator (me) to shift the other way.

The one that was an add-on to a Power Commander 3, not so much. I had lots of issues with it false triggering. In street riding, I generally change gears together with momentarily slipping the clutch to smooth out the shift. The quick shifter does not like that one bit. It cuts the ignition momentarily together with me trying to smooth out the shift and the result would be a massive lurch. I ended up having to modify this with a $4 micro switch that disables the quickshifter sensor if the clutch is not fully released. Now it's OK most of the time.

The OEM one is smart enough to detect whether I am using the clutch or not, and by being a strain gauge it can detect how forcefully the shift lever is being used (avoids false triggering) and change its actions accordingly. No driveability issues whatsoever. It just doesn't work with reverse shift pattern.

Why don't you change the to a Push sensor?

The aftermarket sensors are all "switches". The stock one is a strain gauge "sensor" - different, incompatible. A strain gauge delivers an analog output voltage that is proportional to the amount of force applied.

Oh ok got ya!
 
I wanted to put a quick shifter on my bike this season. Not because I need it or anything.. it just seems like a cool extra..
 
Had a healtech quickshifter on my gsxr600 and the oem one on the rsv4. I'll never have another bike without one. Anyone that says they are useless has never had one.

So I use one on my race GSXR1000, use one on the endurance team R1 and use one on my street FZ09 and I say they are useless on the street.

So It seems your comment is mistaken

And I say they aren't.

Your opinion is yours and mine is mine. OP, try one. You'll love it.

If they were so useless, a lot of STREET bikes wouldn't come with them as oem equipment.

ZX600 just said he has the QS on his bikes, why are you asking to try one?lol

Thanks, I could care less about his comment, if something is useless they won't be put to use on the street. Ive heard more people saying they can't live without it because it's easier to change gear. There will always be people who opposes new features, mainly old fashioned riders or wannabe racers. People have said and continue to say ABS is useless on a bike as well, look what Europe have done, mandated all bikes ABS as standard.:lmao:

Not arguing opinions, you said that anyone that thinks they are useless has never tried one and I mentioned you are incorrect.

Who cares anyways.
