Update - I spent a couple hours on it today and got used to it. I think the hesitation was mostly me instinctively backing off the throttle a bit. It shifts smooth and accurately now :)
I bought a 2017 FJ-09 back at the end of March. My 6th gear whines loudly between 47 and 68 mph. It bugs the hell out of me when I'm just out for a leisurely ride. How about your FZ? Do yo have the same issue?
I bet third gear does the same thing. Its the way the gears are cut. I like the sound. Make sure its not your chain slack, as per the forums it is agreed the manual spec was off. Although this may be corrected on the 2017.
TwoWheelObsession ...Lol. The 1st time I rode a bike with a quick shift, I instinctively rolled off the throttle while shifting too. The shifts were very rough. Once you get used to keeping the throttle stable, it shifts very smooth. Takes a bit of getting used to but, once you become programmed to no roll off it is tons of fun! One of the best mods imo. Ride safe!👊🏼
Mine has the same exact whine at the same exact speeds. I had Yamaha check it out and they said it is perfectly normal. It doesn’t bother me. But then again every bike has its own little quirks and I accept that.
Wow dude, I just about broke my foot trying to turn the damn QS light on. You're not kidding, it's a LOT of pressure. Didn't work after trying 10 times with what I thought was a lot of pressure. Tried even harder with a now sore foot and it finally worked.
I am saving to buy an FZ-09 cash and I have watched a ton of your videos today.. I have learned so much; from buying the bike, suspension adjustment, to upgrades. Ty for the great content. Subscribed!
I hope you got the bike bro, it's well worth it! I put 6.5k on mine and financed the rest. I went from a gsxr 600 and 750, and I wish I had a bike like this all along.. such a fun bike
Thanks for the video. Couldn't wait for this one after I saw you got the QS. Can't wait until mine comes in. Have had the '17 since Saturday and I love it.
Wait, these don't come as standard in the US? Bummer. Took possession of my new MT09 yesterday, absolutely fantastic bike except for the headlights at night.
I just got my part in today. 119 dollars well spent, i hope. Lol.. so far you made me get this QS, and the comfort seat. As on all my bikes, levers from ASV and tech spec tank grips are a must.. I pity the fool who rides with stock levers. Lol..
Chris Provencher can you possibly send me the part numbers on each piece? Like the rods, bolts, cables & plugs. I already have a quickshifter that I took off my R1 but that's all I have. Thanks.
TwoWheelObsession I noticed each component in this kit has its own part number. The OEM quickshifter I have is off my 2016 R1 and it's the same one the FZ 09 uses.
Just installed on my Tracer, video was very helpful. Why do you think the directions are so precise? It seems to me the actuation of the quickshifter would be the same. My only guess is they want it as close to possible as the stock length? I may adjust the (dual threaded) shift rod for pedal position
How sensitive is the load cell? Is it easily tripped or do you have to make a deliberate effort to shift up? Do the instructions explain why the overall length matters?
Hi, I took my FZ09 for a ride yesterday. After about 30 minutes of riding I noticed that downshifting from 4 to 3 or lower became difficult to do. The shift lever would feel spongy when I pressed it down but would not shift. I would need to fully disengage my foot from the lever or even tug the lever up from under a bit before it would shift down. Have you had any problems like this? I wonder if it is the clutch cable that is loose or something else is going. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Strange to see my cigar guy doing bike upgrades, knew you had bikes in the garage from the cigar videos. Yea your right sounds like the ms of ignition stop is too long but that's Yamaha fault I guess. Still good educational video on the install, from a FZ6 owner and cigar smoker lol
The quickshifter works with FJ-09 (MT-09 Tracer) and FZ-09 (MT-09) for 2017+. The XSR900 has no changes from 2016 (since it actually includes all the updates done to the FJ and FZ-09 in '17) so it doesn't work on that model from 2016 or 2017. I have an FJ-09 '15 and an XSR900 '16 and can't install the quickshifter in either :(
My XSR900 does have the port under the tank to attach the QS. Do you have the same kind of wiring? Maybe it is there but it doesn't work with the ECU. Thanks!
hi mate thx for the video you help me a lot i buy now the shifter for my tracer and i install by my self .one question please you can only shift it up or also down wihout clutch? you the man.
I added my QS Wednesday ,it was super easy to install,I thought Yamaha should have included 2 extra jam nuts instead of making us reuse the 2 on the bike.. Ordered it in May,came in to my dealer in august ..Works well,I like it..the 1-2 shift is a bit bumpy compared to the other up shifts....The hesitation is a tuning issue on Yamahas part,Im sure that can be smoothed out .
Thank you. Your spot on love your videos. Directions are so good saves a lot of time 100% . Have you ever had a problem with the starter after a long spin from being hot (won't start un till is get cold) how do the starter come out. Im a bit lost around taking the carbs out to get at it .Thanks Fjr1300
Ok this gonna be a little long but as much in out the better. Ok yesterday afternoon I installed the Yamaha Quick shifter. Everything went smooth lined up with correctness. All last evening it worked flawlessly. Then I went down into DC today and at first everything worked like it should. Then about a littl over half way thru my ride and it was SO hot out, then the problems started to occur. I can shift fine up, but it’s coming down is the problem. Ok going down from 6 to 5 isn’t bad it’s when I can finally get int 4 is the huge problem. Once I’m in 4th it’s so hard to get into 3 and 2nd then especially 1st. At times it seems as though when I have the clutch fully pulled in and I’ll give it a quick rpm rev to get it to drop a gear but it’s not very reliable doing this . As I have stated a 100 times this is driving me insane. I’ve been giving much thought of just putting the stock shifter bar back on. Also on a side not I’ve noticed the rubber grip that on the tip of the shifter has been slowly sliding further off at times till i fix it before. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for good installation videos:) I think I have done almost the same upgrades with my mt-09. As you mentioned in another video the rear shock is a bit bumpy. I video of how to change it would be great.
hello sir, just had a question.. after installing a quickshifter ,it is can use directly or need special a setting such a dyno setting.thank you ,sir..
hi sorry for the inconvenience. i have a little problem i have a 2016 mt09 and i bought the yamaha quickshifter but i can't find where the connection is on my bike. please need help
So I’m putting the rapid bike auto tuning fuel management tuning module on my 2019 mt09 with a SC project crt full exhaust and sprint filter. With this quick shifter will I need a new sensor that goes to the tuner or will this one be fine with what it comes with. Thanks for the video bro!
Well I installed my QS.. it was a little tricky to get the length just right and a pain in the butt to get the connector on. But wow is it great. Not sure how people say it's not smooth, because it just slips in gear and doesn't lag or jerk one bit.. I'm thinking people are not giving it a positive shift and or letting off the throttle and that feels kinda rough when you do that.. I honestly don't know how a QS could be any better?
During the activation process, just to be clear, you don't actually have to "shift up"? Just hold enough pressure to just prior to an actual shift? Thanks.
I find that in gears 1-3 there is a bit of a lurch using the qs. 4-6 are almost undetectable when it shifts. Would you say that is true with your bike also? Overall, it was extremely easy to install and I love having it available on the bike.
@ 19:20 Bryan realizes, that oil temperature DOES matter ;) Personally, I would never use these QS with an cold engine, it might be to much stress for the gearbox w/o the right lubrication.
Mine shifts the same as yours appears to shift. I have no issues with that snappy feeling. I actually prefer that over a smoother one. Reminds me of back in the day buying a shift kit for my old Monte Carlo. Lol. Anyhow, I love the QS. Not sure how you paid extra for it if you got it where I did. Maybe shipping.
Yes. It depends on the load and when you shift. Mine is much smoother as well now that I'm used to it. I adjusted my lever a bit lower, at first it was too high. I think that played a small part because it was off from stock at first after installing the QS. . When I see the QS lit up on the dash and cars wanna play games with me, i feel like I own them. Haha
Hi i make bought this qs and make the installation today thanks to you really.. İ still try to get used to this i want to ask is it necessary to go to service and make some set ups on ecu or something else ??(i have 2017 FJ09)
You'll soon get used to it and you'll be shifting unnecessarily haha. Luckily it came as standard on mine in the UK, gives a lovely pop with the Akra Carbon on up shifts without the DB :)
For what it is worth I placed an order for a quickshifter last Wednesday and it arrived today. From my local Ontario (Canada) dealership. Maybe the back order is only a US thing.
TWO, love your channel, Just got mine today, gonna do the install. Was there anything that gave you grief during the install? It seems pretty straightforward. Just curious sometimes the magic of video takes the frustrating parts out.
It's easy. I just did mine today. It's more tricky then it looks, hardest part is getting the blank plug off and plugging it back in, it's a tight tight fit. I honestly do not understand why the measurements need to be so exact, but I did it anyways. Let us know if you run into any issues.
So the registered pressure is in range to work with the preprogrammed values. Moving it too far off axis changes the leverage. I do wish they used a standalone pressure sensor like third part units that worked on the stock shaft and then gave you a way to adjust the sensitivity like the Healtec on my FJR. But it's all baked in to the ECU.
I just installed this following your instructions and everything went together well. I was able to activate the QS but it does not work. Any suggestions? I’ve tried at all RPMs and speeds, when pressing up on the shifter it will not change gears.
TwoWheelObsession thanks for the quick reply!! Love your videos! Would the QS light have activated without a successful connection? I’ve tried shifting a ton of times, even WOT to make sure I wasn’t subconsciously cutting the throttle.
TwoWheelObsession I wanted to send an update and maybe it’ll help other people. UPDATE: I found my issue, I swapped levers to a pair of shorty ASV levers. These levers were not depressing the switch on the underside of the clutch lever, the ECU must have thought the clutch was disengaged therefore not allowing me to use the short shifter function. I tested by depressing the pin while riding and the quick shifter now works as expected. For now, I have disconnected this switch until I find a better solution. Thanks again for your help, keep up the awesome work on your channel !!!
TwoWheelObsession it wasn’t an issue with the clearance, everything was in spec. The issue is that the ASV levers are missing the block off plate that extends from the lever body to trigger the switch. Either way, I’m glad it’s working now. It’s definitely worth it, thanks again!
I see it only works on the up-shift. I guess it was developed for drag racing? I have an '06 FJR 13 paddle-shifter which makes more sense to me in the real world of riding. But that, of course took a lot more internal engineering by Yamaha. It is interesting that riders are clamoring for the QS, but the FJR paddle shifter was a sales flop. Have fun as always. Love your videos.
No, not just for drag racing. It's a LOT of fun just riding around. The key difference between the two is, you have no choice on the FJR and have much less low speed control. With a quick shifter, you always have the clutch option. Most people prefer to only shift with their foot too, not on the grip.
I get it. Fun is the operative word. You are right about my FJR. There is learning curve and a technique to low speed handling. But FUN it is. Enjoy that FJ09.
Hey twowheelobsession,. I just install my gytr on my 2020 r6. After watching your video. I went to follow your directions. I got my ECU flash before the shifter. But it’s not working. The light is on but it’s not shifting when I take it for a ride. Any suggestions??
I've installed the OEM quickshifter, but failed at activating the feature on the bike. I've read many different techniques on how to activate it. The instructions from Yamaha simply states to push up on the shift lever and turn on to "Run," then hold the lever in the up position for 10 seconds. Let pressure off the lever, and the QS light should light up. Well, that QS light never light up for me. Some say to hold the clutch lever while holding the shift lever up for 10 sec, but I don't think this is the Yamaha chalked up. I've tried the process from gear 3 to 4, or gear 4 to 5 to no avail. I've tried multiple attempts from 1 to N...or 2 to no avail as well. The activation part should not be difficult at all.
I've finally activated the QS function. The process should straight forward as stated on the instructions, but in reality it's not. I started the engine and shifted through 1 thru 6 gears. Then downshifted down to 2; shut off the engine; held the shift lever up; turn ignition key to "run" position; held the shift lever for 12 sec; left go of the lever; and it finally happened -- the QS light illuminated. I've been stoked since. The quickshifter works flawlessly. This thing is like having an automatic DCT tranny when accelerating.
My 2015 fz09 doesn't have a quick shifter and I can upshift without clutch. I normally don't but its really not that difficult. I do it on my dirtbike too. Am I missing something?
Hey man thanks for the video, I just installed it in my 09 2017 and now I cant shift and the QS doesnt work. It's hard to find the 2nd gear and I cant go to 3rd or higher, what could it be?
Just installed today but am having trouble adjusting the height of the shifter since it has to be a certain length. Should I adjust the shifter by the splines?
hey jada question installed on my 2018 mt09 and it works got the light on but have been having the issue of it not letting me down shift now with the clutch it's like it cant find the gears I ended up getting it home it was out of tolerance not buy much but still out fixed it but cant test it becuase of snow. can the measurement effect it not being able to down shift properly it upshifted fine no issues also bike has 22 miles on it so deffently doubt anything is toasted on it.
thats true. It's the same price in USD and Euro, but we also get the SP Model which has upgraded suspension for like 1000€ more which is very good deal because if you bought those forks and rear shock seperately you would pay way more
Aftermarket will always be better. What I hate is that even the SP model doesn't come with a blipper. Only Model to feature that is the 2018 R1 or (i think) all R1M models
TwoWheelObsession ok I have a 2014 fz-09 order this part but after disconnecting of the part under the tank what does it connect back in to or do I need a splitter to finish up
Update - I spent a couple hours on it today and got used to it. I think the hesitation was mostly me instinctively backing off the throttle a bit. It shifts smooth and accurately now :)
I bought a 2017 FJ-09 back at the end of March. My 6th gear whines loudly between 47 and 68 mph. It bugs the hell out of me when I'm just out for a leisurely ride. How about your FZ? Do yo have the same issue?
It's normal, other gears do it as well depending on the RPM and load.

Great video. Works great on a 2021 XSR900 with 1 exception….. There is no L bracket to clip the harness onto. Thanks for helping.
I just installed mine tonight on my 17 FZ09. So much fun for $139.00
This video was helpful to make sure I did it all correctly! Thanks!
Where did u buy it ?
where you buy it ??
Thanks for the video. Couldn't wait for this one after I saw you got the QS. Can't wait until mine comes in. Have had the '17 since Saturday and I love it.
Man you weren't kidding about pulling up hard on the shifter, just installed on 2019 MT-09.
I know this is an older video, but it was a great instructional. I just ordered mine for my 2020. Will be my first QS bike
I have a BMW S1000R and the quick shifter works better when the engine has warmed up.
Wait, these don't come as standard in the US? Bummer.
Took possession of my new MT09 yesterday, absolutely fantastic bike except for the headlights at night.
Great video! I ordered mine a couple of days ago, and it's always nice to see something installed before taking it on.
I just got my part in today. 119 dollars well spent, i hope. Lol.. so far you made me get this QS, and the comfort seat. As on all my bikes, levers from ASV and tech spec tank grips are a must.. I pity the fool who rides with stock levers. Lol..
Where did you get yours at?
My QS came in last night, I'll be following your instructions to install mine this weekend.. I can't wait! It looks like alot of fun!
Chris Provencher can you possibly send me the part numbers on each piece? Like the rods, bolts, cables & plugs. I already have a quickshifter that I took off my R1 but that's all I have. Thanks.
Edgar that's not how it works, at all. But the proper kit, period.
TwoWheelObsession I noticed each component in this kit has its own part number. The OEM quickshifter I have is off my 2016 R1 and it's the same one the FZ 09 uses.
@@tiradoed it is the same qs, just different rod length.
Just installed on my Tracer, video was very helpful. Why do you think the directions are so precise? It seems to me the actuation of the quickshifter would be the same. My only guess is they want it as close to possible as the stock length? I may adjust the (dual threaded) shift rod for pedal position
How sensitive is the load cell? Is it easily tripped or do you have to make a deliberate effort to shift up?
Do the instructions explain why the overall length matters?
They don't explain anything but a few guys have got it wrong and it was hard to shift. Mine shifts like butter.
Nice video man. Got mine installed on my 2019 Yamaha MT-09. Great instructions. Easy to follow on the install. Respect.
Where did you get yours at?
Thank you for the instructions. I just installed mine without a hitch following your instructions.
Hi, I took my FZ09 for a ride yesterday. After about 30 minutes of riding I noticed that downshifting from 4 to 3 or lower became difficult to do. The shift lever would feel spongy when I pressed it down but would not shift.

I wonder if it is the clutch cable that is loose or something else is going. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Problem solved. I had the heim joint bolt too tight which was preventing the shift lever to freely bounce back to position.
Excellent install guide, helped me install my own today 👍🏻
Strange to see my cigar guy doing bike upgrades, knew you had bikes in the garage from the cigar videos.
Yea your right sounds like the ms of ignition stop is too long but that's Yamaha fault I guess. Still good educational video on the install, from a FZ6 owner and cigar smoker lol
Hi from England! Thanks for this video and many others you helped me to work on my mt09 tracer or FJ 09 as it's called over there
YOU ARE THE MAN WITH THE PLAN
Thank you thank you. This was so simple and made the bike 100% more fun! Any plans on installing a steering damper?
The quickshifter works with FJ-09 (MT-09 Tracer) and FZ-09 (MT-09) for 2017+. The XSR900 has no changes from 2016 (since it actually includes all the updates done to the FJ and FZ-09 in '17) so it doesn't work on that model from 2016 or 2017.
I have an FJ-09 '15 and an XSR900 '16 and can't install the quickshifter in either :(
So, this does not work on the 2017 XSR900? That's odd, and a bummer.
My XSR900 does have the port under the tank to attach the QS. Do you have the same kind of wiring? Maybe it is there but it doesn't work with the ECU. Thanks!
hi mate thx for the video you help me a lot i buy now the shifter for my tracer and i install by my self .one question please you can only shift it up or also down wihout clutch? you the man.
Up only
Hello, that is a really helpful video, I got one question, is it same easy to find the neutral after changing the QS?
It doesn't change a thing
Will this work for 2015 FZ09 as well ? or i have to go for aftermarket option ?
I've been thinking of getting a QS, but having only been riding for over a year, maybe not a good idea. This Vid may have changed my mind. Looks fun.
Can I do this on my 2015 fz09? Or does it only work on the later facelifted models?
Great video!
17 plus
Hi Bryan! Another great video, thanks a lot! I have up/down QS on my GS and I will not be considering a bike without one anymore. :)
I added my QS Wednesday ,it was super easy to install,I thought Yamaha should have included 2 extra jam nuts instead of making us reuse the 2 on the bike..

Only if you are using it without full throttle and high in the RPM range.
@ 19:20 Bryan realizes, that oil temperature DOES matter ;)

it might be to much stress for the gearbox w/o the right lubrication.
LOL, uh, nope ;) Don't be too jealous ;)
Hahaha he responded because you curbed his ego😂😂😂
It’s self learning system. If ON auto in settings.
Nice video mate 🤜🤛
I just order mine for Ducati Diavel Carbon....! Will test and post!
Cheers
Uh, no it’s not.
Mine shifts the same as yours appears to shift. I have no issues with that snappy feeling. I actually prefer that over a smoother one. Reminds me of back in the day buying a shift kit for my old Monte Carlo. Lol. Anyhow, I love the QS. Not sure how you paid extra for it if you got it where I did. Maybe shipping.
+Mike I didn't pay extra, this was full retail 160 plus 7 shipping. I was saying the previous listings were marked up over 200.
Yes. It depends on the load and when you shift. Mine is much smoother as well now that I'm used to it. I adjusted my lever a bit lower, at first it was too high. I think that played a small part because it was off from stock at first after installing the QS. . When I see the QS lit up on the dash and cars wanna play games with me, i feel like I own them. Haha
Hi i make bought this qs and make the installation today thanks to you really.. İ still try to get used to this i want to ask is it necessary to go to service and make some set ups on ecu or something else ??(i have 2017 FJ09)
Outstanding tuturial
I am a bit confused, the quickshifter is standard on all 2017 MT09's here in Australia, why is it an optional extra over there??
Ask Yamaha
Hiroshima tax bro.
You'll soon get used to it and you'll be shifting unnecessarily haha. Luckily it came as standard on mine in the UK, gives a lovely pop with the Akra Carbon on up shifts without the DB :)
Already there LOL - Spent a couple hours on it today, all is well and yep - great pop!!
For what it is worth I placed an order for a quickshifter last Wednesday and it arrived today. From my local Ontario (Canada) dealership. Maybe the back order is only a US thing.
+CaperVandaL it wasn't, but it may be caught up now.
Yeah got it in one day here in Montreal too...
Yes! Been waiting for this video!
Why did you go from 14mm to 9mm?
About that bike shaking when shifting. I highly recommend getting a steering damper. It will save your life!
+FullThrottle099 there is no steering shake and I have no need for a damper.
First! do you feel the fz09 is suitable for 2up riding with combined 380lbs? thanks brotha
+J Rods oh hell no
TwoWheelObsession alright man, thanks for honest answer. I can only afford one and I had a blast on it during a test ride. trust your opinion though
Get the FJ-09 for that, J Rods!
Critical Rider Thanks brotha
+Critical Rider same shock. That's way over the weight limit.
Does the QS also work in reverse - as in downshifts without clutch and partial open throttle? TIA
no
I noticed you mentioned '17. Will that work on a '15 fj09?
TWO, love your channel, Just got mine today, gonna do the install. Was there anything that gave you grief during the install? It seems pretty straightforward. Just curious sometimes the magic of video takes the frustrating parts out.
I don't do vids like that - what you see is what you get :)
TwoWheelObsession got it done, no issues either, thanks for the video. I will agree it works really well. Seems better after the gearbox is warmed up.
Ordered one for my 2019 MT09 Your video is awesome Hopefully I can install it myself lol Fingers crossed
It's easy. I just did mine today. It's more tricky then it looks, hardest part is getting the blank plug off and plugging it back in, it's a tight tight fit. I honestly do not understand why the measurements need to be so exact, but I did it anyways. Let us know if you run into any issues.
Why are the measurement so precise? Cant you adjust it to your liking once installed (lets say you want the shifter a little lower)
So the registered pressure is in range to work with the preprogrammed values. Moving it too far off axis changes the leverage. I do wish they used a standalone pressure sensor like third part units that worked on the stock shaft and then gave you a way to adjust the sensitivity like the Healtec on my FJR. But it's all baked in to the ECU.
youre going down Grand from NPR to holiday aren't you? cool! Just a mile from my shop.
I just installed this following your instructions and everything went together well. I was able to activate the QS but it does not work. Any suggestions? I’ve tried at all RPMs and speeds, when pressing up on the shifter it will not change gears.
Make sure you are not rolling off the throttle at all. If the QS light is on, it's working.
TwoWheelObsession thanks for the quick reply!! Love your videos!
Would the QS light have activated without a successful connection? I’ve tried shifting a ton of times, even WOT to make sure I wasn’t subconsciously cutting the throttle.
TwoWheelObsession I wanted to send an update and maybe it’ll help other people.
UPDATE: I found my issue, I swapped levers to a pair of shorty ASV levers. These levers were not depressing the switch on the underside of the clutch lever, the ECU must have thought the clutch was disengaged therefore not allowing me to use the short shifter function. I tested by depressing the pin while riding and the quick shifter now works as expected. For now, I have disconnected this switch until I find a better solution.
Thanks again for your help, keep up the awesome work on your channel !!!
That just means you didn’t install the levers with the correct clearance.
TwoWheelObsession it wasn’t an issue with the clearance, everything was in spec. The issue is that the ASV levers are missing the block off plate that extends from the lever body to trigger the switch. Either way, I’m glad it’s working now. It’s definitely worth it, thanks again!
I see it only works on the up-shift. I guess it was developed for drag racing? I have an '06 FJR 13 paddle-shifter which makes more sense to me in the real world of riding. But that, of course took a lot more internal engineering by Yamaha. It is interesting that riders are clamoring for the QS, but the FJR paddle shifter was a sales flop. Have fun as always. Love your videos.
No, not just for drag racing. It's a LOT of fun just riding around. The key difference between the two is, you have no choice on the FJR and have much less low speed control. With a quick shifter, you always have the clutch option. Most people prefer to only shift with their foot too, not on the grip.
I get it. Fun is the operative word. You are right about my FJR. There is learning curve and a technique to low speed handling. But FUN it is. Enjoy that FJ09.
dealer is putting mine on this weekend, wondering if its a up shift and down shift as well. Ive got a 19 MT 09
Up only
Good video! Installing mine today .
I saw that you had loctite on the table, did you end up using that for anything?
Hey twowheelobsession,. I just install my gytr on my 2020 r6. After watching your video. I went to follow your directions. I got my ECU flash before the shifter. But it’s not working. The light is on but it’s not shifting when I take it for a ride. Any suggestions??
Does the nut have to reversed threads to go on the reversed part of shifter rod because I had to get a new nut and can’t screw it on now
no
I've installed the OEM quickshifter, but failed at activating the feature on the bike. I've read many different techniques on how to activate it. The instructions from Yamaha simply states to push up on the shift lever and turn on to "Run," then hold the lever in the up position for 10 seconds. Let pressure off the lever, and the QS light should light up. Well, that QS light never light up for me. Some say to hold the clutch lever while holding the shift lever up for 10 sec, but I don't think this is the Yamaha chalked up. I've tried the process from gear 3 to 4, or gear 4 to 5 to no avail. I've tried multiple attempts from 1 to N...or 2 to no avail as well. The activation part should not be difficult at all.
The Yamaha instructions are correct. You probably aren't applying enough pressure. HOLD it full up.
I've finally activated the QS function. The process should straight forward as stated on the instructions, but in reality it's not. I started the engine and shifted through 1 thru 6 gears. Then downshifted down to 2; shut off the engine; held the shift lever up; turn ignition key to "run" position; held the shift lever for 12 sec; left go of the lever; and it finally happened -- the QS light illuminated. I've been stoked since. The quickshifter works flawlessly. This thing is like having an automatic DCT tranny when accelerating.
Quick question my friends. Do you have to activate it everytime you ride?
no
BG gonna do some racing or at least some aggressive riding. You go BG. Staing tuned.
My 2015 fz09 doesn't have a quick shifter and I can upshift without clutch. I normally don't but its really not that difficult. I do it on my dirtbike too. Am I missing something?
Yep. You are missing that a quickshifter allows you to keep the throttle pinned.
Does this system also work on the MT-09 2015 edition (RN29) or is it just for the new models?
2017+
Is that a spyderco? Wich model is that?
thanks for the video made instal on my 2017 fz09 a breeze
Just bough a 2019 MT-09 and came with QS standard. I was wondering if the clutch pedal level is still adjustable with the QS installed?
You mean shifter. And no
TwoWheelObsession it is adjustable, the adjuster nuts are right below the QS... did it myself he he
Hey man thanks for the video, I just installed it in my 09 2017 and now I cant shift and the QS doesnt work. It's hard to find the 2nd gear and I cant go to 3rd or higher, what could it be?
You have your shifter in the wrong position.
Just installed today but am having trouble adjusting the height of the shifter since it has to be a certain length. Should I adjust the shifter by the splines?
+Alec Fleming with the quickshifter like I said you are limited in adjustment range.
TwoWheelObsession Thanks for getting back to me. All your FZ09 videos have helped me mod my bike a lot! Thanks! 👍
Is it plug and play for a 2015 model as well?
Nope
hey jada question installed on my 2018 mt09 and it works got the light on but have been having the issue of it not letting me down shift now with the clutch it's like it cant find the gears I ended up getting it home it was out of tolerance not buy much but still out fixed it but cant test it becuase of snow.
can the measurement effect it not being able to down shift properly it upshifted fine no issues also bike has 22 miles on it so deffently doubt anything is toasted on it.
it vibrated one if the nuts loose causing it to move a little. I put a little rtv there to just hold the nut for extra precaution
Has anyone got a copy of original fitting instructions for the oem Quick shifter.thanks.
Is there any difference between Testride PN BS2E81A0V000 and 2SC181A00000 which is the one sold in Europe?
I doubt it, but I don't know.
what happens if you still press on the clutch?
Is there a link to buy one?
Hallo fell, is this oem stuff better than aftermarket ?
No, but close and way cheaper/easier.
@@TwoWheelObsession ok sir thanks
Nice, great review!
Good thing in the EU the Quickshifter comes standard on all FZ/MT-09 and MT-09 Tracer
Yep but you pay more for the bike ;)
thats true. It's the same price in USD and Euro, but we also get the SP Model which has upgraded suspension for like 1000€ more which is very good deal because if you bought those forks and rear shock seperately you would pay way more
Eh it’s better than stock but for 2k I got a full aftermarket setup that’s better
Aftermarket will always be better. What I hate is that even the SP model doesn't come with a blipper. Only Model to feature that is the 2018 R1 or (i think) all R1M models
Sounds pretty good to me
Whats reasonable price for labor if i want the dealership to install it? Thanks.

Thanks so useful
Love it
thanks i will look for it
Cool might turn mine off sometime for some old school clutchless shifts.
Can you downshift with this clutchless as well? Or only upshift?
I have the quick shifter from Translogic and it is the by far the best quick shifter on the market check it out.
The OEM is perfect.
TwoWheelObsession yeah no doubt about it just lack of control but nice video wish I had the option on my 14
Can this be installed on a 2014 fz 09?
No
What would happen if your measurements are not exactly what the instructions say. I don’t see it really effecting function
It can detach from lack of thread contact.
What year is your bike
17
TwoWheelObsession ok I have a 2014 fz-09 order this part but after disconnecting of the part under the tank what does it connect back in to or do I need a splitter to finish up
As I said in the video this is only for 17+. Yours can not use it.
TwoWheelObsession ok must skipped that part. But I found other cables
@@caligiant209 have You found if its possibile to plug this qs in your motorcycle?
