Hi there, I thought of this and tried that too to make it an easier and more intuitive change but the different leverage geometry didn't make any difference to mine, also, where the lever is set (in relation to the standard foot-peg position) is pretty good and plainly an area of the bike design...

That's unfortunate, must have been a real pain. If there's one thing you need on bikes like these is a slick box, especially when you're a challenging road ride or track day.

Hi there, and thanks for the feedback. I also thought that the movement required was somewhat excessive but its not, it just can feel that way because of the force required (to overcome that spring compression rate). The internal sensor only has to move a tiny amount and less that you see when...

Hi there, that's a pity, sounds like you've been unfortunate. It's a bit weird that the shifter would cut okay but the next gear was not there, operating the QS automatically exerts pressure on the next gear to mesh in and it does so when the torque gets released by the fuel cut, that you say...

I must confess that my box is as good as gold, whether I use the Quick-Shifter or roll off momentarily to shift clutch-less. The QS is a good bit of kit, sound in design, simple and effective 'when one puts enough effort into it' and that seems to be the general issue I keep reading about, and...

Hi All, After being the happy owner of a 2011/12 model S1000RR, and reading this forum and others, it seems that many riders find their quick-shifters a little hard to operate at times having it seems a little to much resistance. Sometimes they seem to operate quite intuitively and other times...

Found the Avatar/pic process :encouragement:

HI there, it's a 2011, got it 16000 miles on it. Looked around a few before I went for this one - mint condition, previous owner had it not too long and he purchased it from a BMW Motorrad dealer with warranty so it's real sound. It has some really nice extras on it and really looks the biz. Has...

Hi all, and I hope everybody is well. I have a question... Can one take apart the Speed-Shifter body (the round barrel where the wire comes from) and either adjust the spring tension OR change the spring rate. I only ask as I experienced a minor lower-back injury some years ago and as a...

Hi everyone, and I hope all's well Just saying hi as I've just joined the forum. Got my first RR about 2 months ago and loving it, best sportsbike I've ever owned. Wishing you all the very best for Christmas and lets hope 2021 is a good one for us all. Dale :encouragement:
