2wheeldynoworks Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 We've had a number of you use the flash tune quickshifter kit, which is pretty awesome but there have been a couple random issues here and there. Well, we just received a new update from them, we loaded it in our test bike at the shop and it performs flawlessly. So if you have one that's not quite perfect, let us know and we can do a free reflash upgrade to include this in it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2me Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 What is this Quickshifter Kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaskar Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Quick shifters typically involve a push/pull sensor attached to the shift linkage and tied in to the ECU or piggyback device. This aids in allowing clutchless upshifts and possibly downshifts too depending on the bike/system. Used to be seen predominantly on race bikes. Just like other tech, slowly makes it's way to the production bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wheeldynoworks Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 What is this Quickshifter Kit? https://ftecu.com/shop/ftecu-replacement-quickshifter-kit/ They make a plug n play quickshifter kit that's far easier to install than others which require stand alone control boxes or pinning the ecu. Basically it allows you to shift up, or if you get the option, down as well, without disengaging the throttle, the sensor cuts the power for a few milliseconds and the bike shifts and all the while you just keep the throttle wide open Quick shifters typically involve a push/pull sensor attached to the shift linkage and tied in to the ECU or piggyback device. This aids in allowing clutchless upshifts and possibly downshifts too depending on the bike/system. Used to be seen predominantly on race bikes. Just like other tech, slowly makes it's way to the production bikes.and now that it has, it's awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Can someone who actually installed a FT quick shifter share their experience? I've read people had to apply quite a bit of pressure to upshift in lower gears and it was jerky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read people had to apply quite a bit of pressure to upshift in lower gears and it was jerky. Thats what the update fixed. We've had it on a few local customers bikes and a few updates to forum users too that have it working now. Hopefully they post up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 FJ requires a push-type sensor, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky5000100 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Yes push type if you want it to remain the way it is (1 down - 5 up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky5000100 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Why a quickshifter on a street bike?Because it's awesome Once you go to a quickshifter, it's unlikely you'll want to go without one. There's just something satisfying about changing gears without letting off the throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read people had to apply quite a bit of pressure to upshift in lower gears and it was jerky. I installed the unit on my bike. It's a very easy install and works flawlessly. Flash tune even provides the proper harness so everything is plug and play. No cutting or splicing wires. It T's into the TOS below your seat.

GoldenPenguin Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Why a quickshifter on a street bike?My thought exactly... shifting gears and using the clutch is part of the fun... me thinks. What's the hurry? This sounds like you've never used a quickshifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fzrcraig Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Have one on my R6 race bike. Worth 1/2 sec./lap. What does it do for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
