Shift delay

[bigone5500]

So while riding sometimes I shift gears usually above 3rd and there is a delay before power is reapplied. I'd guess about 1/2 to 3/4 of a second. What could this be? Maybe I'm operating the quick shifter too slow? I don't know.

There are alot of complaints about the Gen3's quickshifter working poorly, and a few threads and many posts on it here.
An ecu flash fixes some, but not others, for no particular known reason yet.
The only 100% fix so far has been swapping out the stock quickshifter to a Woolrich Quickshifter.

After my warranty runs out I'll be flashing my ECU. Maybe it will alleviate some of it.

Mine does it from 1st to 2nd and sometimes from 2nd to 3rd. It's totally unpredictable, so I've learned to just embrace the gambling spirit and simply enjoy being an involuntary participant in the quickshifter lottery.

I never win the lottery... :-(

Definitely the funniest thing ive read today!

On my Gen2 with ECU flashed by me.... I think the quick shifter makes the ECU think that transmission is in neutral so it briefly uses the neutral STP map. Therefore, it's like closing the throttle a little bit. For me I think I fixed it by matching a neutral map with the rest of them. Will make the engine more snappy and neutral which could be harder on it.

I've been running the MM flash since it was released. I still run into the delay randomly from time to time, it's weird because it happens at low and high RPMs.

It won't.

Same, I pretty much always clutch 1st->2nd because that always works, sometimes it happens 2nd->3rd but less. I've tried to capture it on camera but every time I do, watching it on video doesn't do it justice. It's so much worse in person.

When the QS delay happens, it's such a floppy, disappointing feeling in the butt dyno, especially when the TC also decides to participate in the party-pooping.

It kills most of the power before the delay happens. Then the full power kicks in and it's so unsettling...but also exciting! I don't doubt my Gen 3 has the wonkiest electronics out of this whole forum. I am sure I got a Friday bike.

The other day I hit it in Mode A from a 10 MPH roll expecting to be catapulted with ferocity like it always does. No. TC left the chat. It did an unadulterated rolling burnout from 1st to 3rd. I liked how it felt, so I didn't stop, but it's still wrong.

Guess I've been one of the lucky ones. I haven't had any problems with mine at all. Always run mine in mode a with everything turned off except traction control.

One time someone asked me why my TC light is always on.....LOL

I called and talked to Chris at Moore Mafia. He said when I get my ECU flashed it will fix the shift delay. After the flash I will have to run the bike in mode B quick shift.

After the unexpected Boeing 787 Dreamliner takeoff-style wheelie that caught me by surprise the first time (and last), I'm not turning off the nannies again. You guys have at it!

I have MM flash and I still experience the same delay/lag on some shifts. Now I have only run my QS mode A. I will try it out in Mode B.

Unless he has recently found something new in the flash it won't, mine behaves the same in both QS modes after the MM flash. Literally my first ride after the flash, in the video it did it from 1st->2nd. Also, in my case, I had to reset the shift light after the flash, easy to do. I hate all the different colors (Suzuki made that way to complicated) I set the sub's at 250 (lowest setting) and I set the main at 500 above when I want to shift so when the first light comes on (whatever stupid color it is) I shift and ignore the rest.

And that's bs...flash and dyno my bike to full power in A mode...but the QS won't work right...so just use B mode!

I'm not sure if @bigone5500 was referencing the power mode or the QS mode. Either way it is BS and should just work by design in any power mode or QS mode.

I'm not sure either, but have read this refferenced before, and it was B mode for power then.
As much as MM uses Woolrich, I would think they would push their QS now, as it seems to be the only real fix, sad as that is, since Suzuki has really went downhill(regardless that the Woolrich QS is better anyway).
