I'm glad you made videos on this problem. Your previous vid on this helped me figure out why the hell my quick shifter didn't work on my then new bike. Thanks.
Jesus thank you mother lord, I been trying to fix my false neutral and Quick shifter not working with the gas pinned and it was because the metal tab was bent. I straightened it and then permanently locked it in by turning the metal plate. Your the man. I really do thank you a lot for this and all your other videos.
Can‘t wait to try it tomorrow, man! It took me ages of trial and error and yet the qs and blipper still do only work when they want to. I was close to put the stock levers on the bike again! These comments are very promising and seems like you‘re a tech-hero 😂😂
Haha hope it works for yah. See the wind was pushing on the clutch lever - disengaging the click out sensor. They have thr little "click" at initial engagement of the clutch, to stop the quickshiter from being active when you pull on the clutch lever
Omfg! You are a life saver! I took my BMW to track days and sometimes the QS wont allow me to go 4th to 5th....and yeah it would have been the wind! Tysm!!!!!
i've been fighting my 5-6 gear and getting desperate. just talked to a guy this morning after trying the 3rd brand of quickshift and we discussed if the wind at high speed could be causing an issue. thanks, i'll try this and see if it fixes it!
Great tip, my 2015 s1000xr quick shift was not changing properly in high revs, I sprayed a little Gibs on the switch and it works again. I think it may have got sticky after riding through a storm.
Primo advice!! After installing after market clutch lever I had problems with my QS. Once I moved that tab over to hold that switch in my QS works like butter again lol. Thanks👍

Got one for you, i did that when i first got my bike and it fixed the Qs from 5th to 6th like a charm and made my cruise control work. But now for some reason my cruise control doesnt work i have to turn the bike off and back on with the key, while riding to get the cruise control to work, but recently that stopped working. I check the micro switches and they are still compressed but i can’t figure out how to get CC to engage. Some insight would be appreciated
hey marcel i got a problem with my s1k 2010 got no gear indicator so also no neutral can not start only by pusch, how to get the gear indicator back working????
Been having problems with my quick shifter due to some issue in the lever. Like sometimes it activates sometimes it doesn’t but might be this i only saw the bottom little metal activator and thought that was it so i changed out a part that was a little worn. But it might be that top piece. I have a 2011 bmw so ill check that out. I also have an issue where i cant turn it on in neutral and i feel like it might be a lever issue as well lol. Thanks for the vid!
I'm going to try this. Last few days I've been noticing my QS has not been working properly sometimes it would DS but no US (2015 model). hopefully this helps me out, thnx in advance for the video! and I also notice that my cruise control would not engage sometimes...
I was at official bmw dealer today there work guy I know him so I asked him... confirm me the cruise control will not work without clutch switch trigger. Regards 👍
Question. By doing that on my S1000R, won't be bad to change the gears manually at low speeds? Since the QS will be always on, when i press the clutch to change the gears, the QS will come in anyway and it will be bad, since i will be at low speeds/RPM? Anyway, i will do this test tomorrow.
My S1000RR 2016 havn’t that switch someone took it off before I buy motorcycle two months ago. Launch control work excellent but seems to me cruise control don’t work. is that switch conneced to cruise control? Please answer!
The switch triggers when the clutch is slightly pulled in (which disables the quick shifter) and also another switch is triggered when clutch lever is fully pulled in. I never studied how it relates to cruise control.
Marcel Irnie Thx. at answer👍 now I conclude my launch contr. and quick shifter up/down blipper work excellent becauze it is alwyas enabled... that switch trigger missing
I was at bmw local dealer today there work guy I know him so I asked him and he confirm me the cruise control will not work without clutch switch trigger. Regards 👍
Marcel, i have a 2014 bmw s1000rr and im having problems with my quick shifter. Can this be the problem with my clutch (aftermarket). If so can your solution work on my 2014?
Hey Marcel. huge fan here. haha! i’m just wondering if you know a fix on the auto-downshift during hard braking. mine seems to prevent me from downshifting when during hard braking and i’ve done it with abs off, abs on slick mode and abs on race mode. i also did this tab rotation already which made my upshift consistent now. :) thanks Marcel.
Marcel Irnie so it downshifts consistenly smooth during light braking or when i just downshift with no brakes, but it was consistently NOT auto-downshifting in buttonwillow running clockwise from the back straight entering turn 1 when i’m downshifting from 4th to 3rd to 2nd while braking hard.
@@EEEeaAaRrRrLLLLL can't say without riding, inspecting your setup or seeing video of the issue. Could just be rider error, or shift linkage out of alignment. Maybe your shifter is setup all wrong for ergonomics
Marcel Irnie thank you. i’ll double check the shifter linkage since i got the motorcycle with aftermarket rearsets already. probably was set wrong, and would definitely pay attention to my riding as well. thanks. hope to see you in one of your races here in CA. 🤘🏽🤘🏽.
do yourself a favour as you share great info...you need a new cameraman....all the most crucial parts you talked about the cameraman had completely out of focus...ruined what could have been a very useful video!
This the best IDIOT solution: cancel a safety check (lever pressed or not) NEVER IS A SOLUTION. Imagine press the lever and the controls related still working...
I've never wanted or needed to use Cruise control on track, and I always want the quickshifter to actually work on track. There is no downside to this fix.. If you have a problem with your quickshifter, your welcome to go find yourself another way to prevent the lever from being pushed in the wind.
In theory it should as the action of locking down the clutch slight pull tab that when released means your pulling in the clutch, would also disable cruise
Just found this after suffering the same problem. Thank you!

What about cruise control?did it work properly after you do that?what happen when you have cruise control ON and press the clutch at the same time?
Can‘t wait to try it tomorrow, man! It took me ages of trial and error and yet the qs and blipper still do only work when they want to.

I am used tu pushing the clutch lever out with my fingers at high speed to make sure the quick shifter works. I am definitely doing this mod.
Thanks man!!! I just did this to my 2016 s1000rr and it worked. I was having the same trouble you described. 🤙🏽
Awesome. Glad this video has helped so many bmw riders

Question is the bottom switch cruise control and quick shifter together ??

What size torx does that little screw use? Smallest I have is T8H and looks like it's even smaller than that.
Yah buy a mini tool set
I just picked up a T6 :)
It can create problems if I change gears manually? Help please
Nope. Clutch still engages and disengages
Thanks you a lot ! I did it on my XR and now CC and QS works fine!!! THANKS!!
Still working normally?
another one waiting
Still working ?
What about when you can’t shift down and stuck? Also converted it to gp shift
Im having the same problem in my f900r, and the system at the clutch its exactly like that, im gonna check it out 👍👌
I think marcel should get paid in a way . Ur video fixed my 2020 bmw s1000rr quick shifter.
But would it try to quick shift if you use the clutch within the rev range of the quick shifter?
A what now?
Thank you, do you use the oem clutch cable on this bike?
Yes OEM clutch cable.

Will this affect cruise control? I have done this, but when I press the clutch in the cruise control is not disabled.
Won't the bike start and always be in gear??
Aggg it's not electronic shifting. It's just a signal switch measuring a closed or open circuit of the clutch is pulled back slightly
nice tip, can you still use the clutch as normal if needed or then only Quickshifter work and no normal clutch ?
Clutch works as intended
@ Thanks a lot

Thanks! I fixed my issue with s1000xr!
i uplugged my microswitch cause it broke and my qS still works, how?
Exactly
Marcel, i have a 2014 bmw s1000rr and im having problems with my quick shifter. Can this be the problem with my clutch (aftermarket). If so can your solution work on my 2014?
Yes
How does it work on a 2012 s1000rr as I'm having the issue no cruise control
works in s1000r. Thanks man
The cruise control will be works fine with this mode?
Probabaly not
Great tip! Thanks a lot! Solved me an issue I had.
hey guys someone knows if its the same for bmw S1000RR 2010 ?
2010 does not have the same dual clutch switch buttons. It just has the one button for full clutch pull.
@@irnieracing yeah exactly so how can I know if it works or not ? But my quickshifter dosent work and I don't know how to test the interruptor "
@@irnieracing it will still work I did it on my 2012 single tab switch
Is it correct also for the s1000rr 2010???
Yes
Same issue with s1000r also?
Yes
Thank you Marcel
Its Same for 2011 model?
Nope
Marcel Irnie mine is 2011...quick shifter doesn’t work...how to rectify?It is because of wiring??
Was that a t6 screwdriver?
Yes

You have a downshift issue related to braking hard? What are the variables?
Marcel Irnie so it downshifts consistenly smooth during light braking or when i just downshift with no brakes, but it was consistently NOT auto-downshifting in buttonwillow running clockwise from the back straight entering turn 1 when i’m downshifting from 4th to 3rd to 2nd while braking hard.

Great info buddy
Hello guys this tip works on s1000 XR? Can i do it on it?Thanks a lot I wait feedback…. Congrats for the post awesome :)
Yes it will
Brilliant im on it xr 1000....
Should join up in a vintage league and never have these problems ;)
Mind if i ask what do you use for tuning your engine. Trying to find something to tune the factory ecu and real world data logging
BMW's RCK3 Tuner with the OEM ECU
Thanks for the reply
bad camera work
do yourself a favour as you share great info...you need a new cameraman....all the most crucial parts you talked about the cameraman had completely out of focus...ruined what could have been a very useful video!
Camera man? Your lucky I even filmed this to share! Haha but seriously send a donation to Paypal.me/irnieracing and I'll hire a cameraman!
Nice video however cameraman is awful. Very reluctant to do close ups so we can see exactly what you're talking about/pointing at.
It's pretty simple. Just deactivate the switch that activates when clutch is "slightly" pulled in.
@@irnieracing thank you

Robert is a terrible at recording video
Does the cruise control work properly?
