I know it's cool having 'tunes' in the garage when working but when making a how-to vid it's a classic mistake and is just bad background noise! Hope the QS is good.
Well it took me an hour to get the airbox off and another to get it back on! My battery is flat, so typical so I pray I have plugged everything back in correctly. Before the battery conked out I had it off the stand and could get into first but it wouldn't seem to shift up - with the clutch pulled in and the engine off?
good night my model and the lite however has been showing me fault the light on the sensor turns on and it does not change but, you know what it can be?
Hey there.. Nothing hangs about. The old connectors from your bikes oem harness plug into the HM connector completing the circuit. Yes your going to have excess wire hanging about so tuck it nicely in but you shouldn't have any open connections..
Aye, bruh you telling me. I gave it a dry run on the pittbul stand to make sure it works. Pretty damn nice but one be able to critique it until we hit the street once the weather flips.
Ali Abdur-Rashid That's whats up! I didn't know exactly what it was or how it worked! On my 600 I can change to gear without using the clutch. I hear with a "QS" that you don't have to cut the gas to achieve shifts. If you kind of explan it more in detail! People like me would appreciate it thanks! Great install by the way!
Sure Michael. Is there a need? No, not really. It helps shorten the shift time, which can be beneficial on the track. You can engage very fast and smooth WOT shift changes at high rpm without rolling of the throttle with a quick shifter. Quick shifters in no way should cause any damage or shorten transmission life. They cut the fuel and/or spark during the shift time (which is loading during that split second shift change. You hold the throttle wide open (or whatever throttle opening you are at) and firmly nudge the shift lever. It wants a firm and decisive shift, which is the point of having one in the first place. Its best to be used in the higher rpms like how you explained clutchless upshifting. For the street, it's just another add on that makes you smile. Also, you get that pop everytime you bang a gear an sometimes a little ☆flame☆ shoots out of the cannister.
Thanks for taking the time to document that, I've been considering quick shifter options for an L4 whilst I have the winter downtime in the UK. What did you do with grounding it in the end, just attach it to the frame?
Thank you sir! I ended up grounding it out directly to the battery. As well, I flipped the qs unit on the shift rod for a cleaner install. If u liked the vid give it a ☆thumbs up☆..
Ali Abdur-Rashid thanks, well after your reply I went and ordered one and today I'm fitting it. I'm hoping to do it without completely removing the tank, although I appreciate it just makes life easier for access, mine has half in it and I can't remember how to stop it pouring out
@@theavangelisthow did you get on with the install, mate? And has it lasted? I'm waiting for Spring, ordered some new gear and I'm thinking about a quickshifter to pass the time, haha.
Sitting on the bike, route the coil piggyback harness (from left to right) starting from the shortest plug (coil 1) to the longest (coil 4).. Which ever way you plug it in will work but this will provide the cleanest install..
I just recently fitted my super-lite.. But it seems to need a fair bit of force to respond to shifts? Or is it just mine? The led doesn't indicate shift unless i give it a good firm push. Have you had the chance to try it out on the streets?
Mine was the same way when running through the random test per HM's instructions. I was actually trying to shift using my hand and this proved failure due to not enough force. A straing gauge is essentially thin piece of metal that requires a certain amoung of force. You gotta ride it bruh. I tested mine out the other day an WOW, setting two is perfect. I also have gp shift on my bike witch makes it easier to go through the gears as your pressing down utilizing your calf muscle which is a lot bigger and stronger. I highly recommend changing to GP shift especially if you're running a Quick Shifter. If not, increase the sensitivity on the qs to make up for the force you'll have to apply.

Just as i expected.. Nice! I'll have to give it a try before i switch to GP-shift. Thanks!

brilliant thumbs up

Ali great vid bro , 1 question , do you unplug the existing conectors and they hang about or you completly remove them to add the new ones ?

I would like to see and part two how it works/ride

did you ground the wire to positive or negative on battery thanks again
Ground hence "earth" so this would be the negative battery terminal.
Robert Mulholland Yes
ih mate just bought one of these how do the connectors go into the coils the connectors are not numbered ie 1234 thanks
