What do y'all think of motorcycle quick shifters? I'm a fan!

@spskinner1 3 жыл бұрын

I like the quick shifter! I will eventually add it to the bike, but it was an add on which was slightly annoying.

@jasonsanderson9385 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely cool!! Great Mod, Dyno jet PCV I noticed you can add on. QUESTION could you get quick shifter on your 131? Or is it only for sport bikes? RIDE SAFE

I'm so frustrated with the MT-09 group on Facebook. Twice I asked why my bike isn't quick shifting. I've never used quick shift before. Some used 🤣 emojis others told me I had to turn it on in the settings. NOBODY told me I still have to shift the gears with my foot. I was thinking the bike did that automatic as well. Thank you for this video. Now I can FINALLY try out my quick shift.

Quick shifters were designed for racing, to allow you to shift without having to lay off the throttle for a quick second. A great addition along with the electrons on the bikes of today. I once had a 5 speed chevy blazer and the clutch went out on it. I rigged the clutch switch so I could crank it up without having the clutch pressed in. I drove that blazer for 5 months with no clutch using speed shifting. The old days way of quick shifting.

@THEmomentumJUNK1E 8 ай бұрын

Great video! Might i say, Blockhead, that your skill in downshifting with the clutch is absolutely sublime. Youre some kind of engineer? One of the small minority of people that understands. Few people know this. In order for a manual gearbox to move the engagement collars past the dog tooth rise plane, the relative torque direction between the gearwheel pair needs to cross over. Up or down change can still be effected without crossing over, thanks to the Synchro-brakes. When that is done you will have a "thunk" on the gear change. People who fully understand how manual gearbox mechanism works will avoid the thunk by manually crossing over the torque direction and pushing the lever inside the cross-over. So thats when on your down shifts you pull the clutch and the revs drop a bit, then you blip them up, crossing over where the rpm would have been in the departing gear, also rever ready, as the blip crosses over the departing gear rpm you slot the lever into the lower gear.

Damn bro. Was riding my new to me k6 gsxr for the first time today. (Came from a v twin Honda). Was shifting with the clutch my first pull. Brought the wheel up when I grabbed 2nd. Figured out I could quick shift it, but was letting off throttle. Quickly discovered it’s less jerky at high rpm so continued shifting with clutch in the lower rpm’s. But I didn’t know you could stay on the throttle. Will have to try it tomorrow.

Love the sound of that Yami. I clutchless shift a lot on my ZX6R. Most people trying clutchless shifting back off the throttle too much. It’s a barely perceptible flick off the throttle when you got the technique down. I will say it’s not as fast as an electronic quick shifter though.

So are you still going up in gear yourself with your foot right just without the clutch ?

@Firestorm637 3 жыл бұрын

My 2 bikes have both up snd down quick shifter. Newer bikes more seamless especially with higher rpm’s as it’s for racing. You have less 0-60 and quarter mile times when you must manually pull in the clutch. Auto blipper rev matches when you downshift. Just keep the throttle wide open. Racing motorcross every time you pull in the clutch you lose 20 feet racing for someone not using the clutch. My motorcross bike does not have a quickshifter but I keep the throttle full open when shifting without clutch use. Quickshifter protects you engine to microsecond unload your transmission when shifting.
