Gen3 Quickshifter PROBLEM

Glad I found this, noticed it here lately in lower rpm's, thought it was my fault or boot holding pressure on the upshift.
Almost like the dreaded 1-2 skip on our gen 1 trannys for the bad dogs.
I just got my tranny back and installed on my 2006 from R&C Specialists...

So have none of our other gen 3 owners experienced this issue? I know the gixxer 1000r had some issues with the quickshifter but not sure what exactly what it was but had something done in the flash that Chris Moore did for my buddy's. Didn't I see something about the gen 3 already having an update the ecu needs? Was it related to the quickshifter?

When shifting with QS, sometimes the engine disengages for longer than it should. It can be as one or two seconds. Does anyone have the same problem?

Hi BusaGen,
I got the first Gen3 busa in Sweden and reported this to Suzuki Sweden at 2022 april such as this:
Problems with Quickshifter, Hayabusa 2021?

Regardless off Settings QSMode1 or 2, Engine break off or on:
When QS is used in traffic 2000-4000 RPM, it usually works perfectly.
When i pick up the pace a notch so that i accelerate harder around 4000 - 7000 RPM it so happends from time to time, that the shifting takes up to half a second before it actually engages the next gear. Since QS usually works flawless and switching from one gear to another is done in Milliseconds, this phenomenom feels very strange, accelerations stops and feels like forever, until next gear finally engages. These misses can happend from any gear to any other gear so there is no other pattern to replicate this error other than that it must be some decent acceleration involved for these misses to occur. Before my Hayabusa i had a Suzuki GZXr1000r, also equipped with QS and it never missed gears or had any sudden delays like this.
Please advice me how to solve this error.

Yip same issue , I've spoken to about 5 gen3 owners here in South Africa and all have the same problem. It's mainly shifting 1-2 and 2-3 but has happened in higher gears aswell. It's got like a 2 second delay of no power and then all of a sudden you gotta hold on my bike is going in for It's run in service tomorrow so gonna ask suzuki again to check it.

I am from the Czech Republic. We fall under distribution from Hungary and they don't want to deal with a complaint on one bike. Can you also claim this problem? Let there be more of us. Then Suzuki will have to solve the problem. When the problem shows up in a corner, it's

I noticed it as well.. After experimenting with the two quickshift modes (QS). QS1 is your racing tearing through gears in the red zone mode. If you're in that mode doing easy rides around town then QS1 is going to have a hard time engaging since you aren't going as fast. QS2 has a more smoother shift if touring around town and such.
 
Same lag issue here, I absolutely hate it. Seems like complaints to Suzuki on this one is falling on death ears. If the Woolich unit fixes the issue with no other changes, then its clear, the physical stock units are defective. I would love Suzuki to cover the cost of the replacement Woolich part.
 
I'm working on something as an alternative to the woolich sensor, though mainly for my maxxecu customers, to get rid of the sloppy sensor with its marshmallow like compression / tension. A solid switch feels so much better. I dont know if it will cure the delay on the stock ecu, but if it does will make it available as an option for folks wanting it.

Feels that way. I also believe this is a problem on at least some of the other Suzuki models. I know a GSX8S owner that had similar complaints with his QS and that same owner recently got a new Yamaha XSR900GP and says the QS is leaps and bounds better. I've also logged numerous hours of riding on a 2022 R1 and a 2021 BMW S1000RR and both of those bikes have flawless QS's that make the gen3 Busa feel like it's in the stone age in regards to QS technology.

The factory QS on the '18 Gsxr1k has been flawless. It will shift at 2k rpm if you want it, but hit the gas and it's gone, the shifts are super fast and smooth, and the higher the rpms, the more the shift isn't even noticeable, just a continous push forward ('17-'24 is same bike) and another reason it's been such a shock to me that the Busa's is so bad.
 
When coming into a corner today, my qs would not downshift from 4th to 3rd. I experience the 2nd gear delay upshifting as well. Feel like I’m riding a BMW boxer , worst Suzuki transmission of the 7 or 8 Suzuki’s I’ve owned.
 
That lag in warm weather cause me to wheelie on 1st to 2nd up shift at WOT. I’m never expecting it because it’s intermittent but it does make me get out of the throttle briefly. I don’t remember a delay when the bike was new but I also didn’t ride it the same way either…..
