    cheers legion yes i have set the c or e selection if i remember its on e but to get the shifter to work at all i have to have sensitivity on 85 or 90 % which seems high to me

    Yeah, maybe you have it set on Extention when it should be on compression or vice versa.

    unless you have something positive and helpfull to say, don't say it, at least not something that is insulting when you know nothing about my riding history or knowledge.

    I think some people think if your new to a forum, your new to motorcycles from some of the comments I read. My guess is if you are worrying if it is bad for the bike, means you do infact understand to an extent how they work. I think it is a totally valid question. Clutchless shifting, in any form you would think, would be worse for a gearbox than using clutch

    the bazazz q/s is fantastic, so if you were planning on getting your bike custom mapped at a later date or going for t/c I'd recommend getting the bazzaz zfi tc q/s

    ALL this chatter, and nobody mentions the Annitori RL?!?!?! So as I was doing my research on the HM, I stumbled onto the Annitori RL [LINK] and noted that it's made by HM and is still a strain guage quickshifter. As a substantial cost reduction, I decided to order one and give it a whirl. It's going in this weekend, and will be tested on the track next weekend.

    More info to follow!
