Donington is a great track (apart from the nose adverse locals who moved/built there because house/land prices were cheap due to close location to the track)… Red Gate is awesome, you just keep getting braver and braver, quicker and quicker throwing it in, just be careful the next corner tightens up and is the limit for red gate. 👍
It's crazy with the noise limits there - illustrated by the fact that every 10 minutes a jet full of holidaymakers screams over your head at 827,000 db. Did see a Spitfire once though.
Love this type of garage/ track series very informative an Donnington is a great track did it with the Ron Haslam track day. I'm glad to see Mavis is keeping g u on your toes to 😆 keep up the great work.
Just fitted one of these Translogic Quickshifters to my GSXS1000 after your recommendations compared to all the other QS’s on the market Chopsy… Glad I took your advice! Not the easiest thing to fit but what a brilliant piece of kit… Absolutely seamless changes from midrange upwards! 👌🏻
I bought a TL QS for my BB R1 after watching your review on the Blade…..it replaced an HM that just didn’t work on the bike, I added a blipper after - excellent setup that I can’t fault, never missed a gear either up or down 😉
After researching until my brain was softer than it already was I pulled the trigger on a Translogic quickshifter for my 12 zx10r today. Super excited to try it at especially at a track day. Lot of good information in this video. Thanks 😊
Fitted the same shifter on my l6 750 after watching your install an the CBR. coupled with a tune an full system👌🏻 faultlessly shifts so smoothly an transformed the bike. Just the job chops 👍
Not into sports bikes at all , but loving all the mods you are putting on this old girl , you will have to go head to head with a new gsxr see how she does , great vid chops
Glad you're back getting the gsxr bit's on,, and looking forward to seeing more of the videos on it,, aswell as the tests and the VIP stuff ☘️😃😃☘️ from northern Ireland 😁😁
Amazing video! And fair play to you to for fitting the quick shifter yourself as it doesn't look easy at all!! Quick question, where did you get the brake lever guard? Thanks mate
I ordered the TL QS oem replacement , for my gsxr1000r L7+ , and it didnt work , the company said they had issues with it working on the newer models ,something to do with voltages,, and they gave me a refund . Just a suggestion The loose red spacers on your bike you could add a washer or 2 . 👍

Just installed the latest translogic on my speed triple shifts like a dream, having issues with the engine management light now though not dropping out. I’ve checked the QS module and the settings are all neutral, would it need a few heat cycles to sort its self out. Any tips? Cheers:)
Great vid chops.....i heard you left cat on for the trackday. Once de-catted will it be too loud for most UK trackdays?? Reason i ask as I'm Looking at buying a k7 already de-catted with the arrows fitted for a potential track bike. Thanks Mike
Really nice brake set up chops, hope you get the move sorted out its been ongoing a while. Also what’s happened to the hypermotard? Have I missed something ?
Loving all the vids but as I have same bike, yes asking for advice again 😂 So the quick shifter is awesome as you said but can you have a blipper fitted on these beauties or not 😢 Booking mine in for dyno and ecu flash instead of PC mods.
The Translogic system is superior to the Healtech shifter IMO and I've used both before. Mainly due to the sensor on the Healtech being a little limited. Both work however but in my experience the Translogic offers a smoother shift
Did you have any issues with the sensor rubbing the frame? Or the sensor hitting the lever? Having a mare with mine, it’s set up the same as yours apart from I haven’t sawed one of the little nodules. Basically it shifts perfectly apart from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th once I get above 7/8k rpm. Thinking it’s vibrations causing the sensor to hit the frame - considering rear sets now. Did you have any issues? Thanks
Does fitting qa cause quicker wear to the gear box , I'm thinking about fitting one to my gsxr 600 which I don't use for track but want to do a track day with.
How stiff is your throttle? My K8 is pretty stiff now and my cables look identical to yours (knackered) where they come out of the throttle housing. I'm going to install Venhill featherlight cables this week and see how much different they are.
@@LambChopRides I absolutely love sports bikes. And have tried relentlessly to talk myself out of them for the last two years (currently have a sports tourer). But I can’t get the urge for a gsxr1000 out of my head 😂
Chopsy, I have a new Healtech Quickshifter on my 03 R6, I cannot get on with it at all. Sometimes it will not shift up gears at Donington Park. I've tried adjusting sensor thresholds, times etc. How is the Translogic vs the Healtech? I spent more time wondering if it was going to shift than actually riding the bike. It's proper getting on my tits. Instead of being an asset, it's becoming a hindrance.
Good work on the install👍 Always lots of fun when your in the shop with Mavis😂 Wow, looking and sounding really on the track there!👏 Yes lots more of that please.
When I started riding a few years ago, there was no way I would have considered sports bikes, thos series has helped changed my mind on this, especially the older bikes, which look fun to wrench on.

Those red spacers are to cover excess thread but I'd take one them off and put a nut in place and tighten it all down. As you've got it the gear lever side isn't locked off.
Morning LCR, we enjoyed that one! As I understand it (not first hand information) you can do damage to a gearbox if you retro fit a quick shifter and don't have the timing right! ie you can brake you gearbox! What have you heard? 🏍💨💨💨

Can you get a race shift mod? Click up is 1st, down is up through the gears. On the track it is much easier on a clockwise track.
You know what your doing chopsy.

No providing its setup properly and shifts nicely. Obviously if its not smooth and your forcing it into gear its going to do damage. 👍
Did you order directly from Translogic? Can I just check is this the right one TLS-QSXi-HS-DCS?
Never mind mods to the Suzy Suzuki mate, what’s happening with the hypermotard or have I missed it chopsy?

Why you don't revmatch when going down the gears?
I was, but obviously not going to rev match to 12k rpm on a blip. I was blipping on downshift
Did the Brembo callipers fit straight on or was there mods to fit 🤔👍
Yes fit straight on but you have to remove the dowls, so important you centralise the calipers

Interesting video Way way over my head If I wanted one fitted into the garage it would be going 😀 👍
Does it go down?
No as the bike isn't ride by wire, no motors on the throttle body to actuate the blip
One of the wires from the throttle seems to have an angle that is not recommended.

Hi Ian, I fitted it and can't really notice any difference... its very subtle if there is any difference
@@LambChopRides Hi LC, thanks for letting me know; that’s what I thought.

So no need to adjust you did nothing ? Adjusters kept in the middle ? Nice
Judging from sound in your video, your quick shifter only works on up shift, but not down?
Yes unfortunately the GSXR isn't ride by wire so no motor to actuate the throttle bodies for downshifting
