The Secret Behind Quickshifter: How It Makes Your Ride Faster

Can confirm...they are wonderful
lol

There is Nothing like a full throttle 1st-2nd gear hit, then 3rd and on...I feel sorry for all you Gen3 guys with clunky or lagging 1st to second quickshifts, as you're missing the best part.
The '17-'24 Gsxr1k with a few farkles will beat you up and take your lunch money anyway...

LOL, not to spoil your breakfast, but cycle world says the 1/4 in 10.44
The Busa beat that almost 25 years ago.
Sure, it's only the quarter, but how many of us go faster than 144mph on the street.

I have been storing, wrenching, and riding my friend's '18 Gsxr1kR since he bought it new in 2019.
I have posted several times how weak it was stock(why I said "a few farkles").
With an ecu flash, full M4, Sprint filter, velocity stacks, dyno-tune, 520 conversion losing almost 2.5 pounds, ceramic wheel, transmission, and output shaft bearings, a few titanium bits, and quite a bit of weight loss...I assure you this bike is Nothing like stock, and their isn't a NA Busa that's going to touch it.
The Busa's better aero's would start to catch up and go by, once the Gsxr tops out around 192-193mph, somewhere around a mile, but anywhere before, and off a jump...see ya!
Why would you compare a farkled Gixxer to a stock Busa?
Shouldn't they both be farkled to be fair?
Just talking straight line performance, no track or twisties.
That power to weight ratio is hard to beat....
I love my bike but know better than to play with a liter bike and expect not to get my bike's feelings hurt.....
Put the same mods on the Busa, I've ridden several Gen1's, and at least a dozen Gen2's, several piped and tuned...and they all have less hp and over a hundred pounds more weight than the Gsxr1k...it's not happening.
The Gsxr1k was a contender to the Busa up to 2016, but after that...not so much.
This last Gen Gsxr1k is no joke, they put bike lengths on most everything.
I've roll raced the first Gen V4 Panigale with cf wheels, Akropovic and tune...and started walking and he would let off.
I'm not into roll racing, but it takes the skill of the launch out of the equation, and gives a pretty fair assessment of a bike's capabilities.
My friend who owns it has a friend with a '22 or '23 zx10, piped and tuned, and they both weigh about the same...and the Gsxr puts 2-3 bike lengths on it every time.
Another had an '08 Gsxr1k...forget about it, it's 10-12 bikes behind in seconds.
These are all 2nd and 3rd gear roll, yet 1st gear is the most incredible of all on the Gsxr1k...it's Not for the faint of heart.
And the Gen3 Busa...it can't beat a Gen2, and the Gen3 fairs poorly in ang kind of racing, as that wasn't it's intent.
Without power adders, the Busas can no longer hang with the modern liter-bikes, and the Gen2 zx14's struggle as well.
What is amazing is just how quick the old 1k's are...and that they are no comparison to today's.
My friends had air shifters on their '06 Gsxr1k and '07 zx10 after they bought them new, and they were Fun.

I'm almost positive I never missed a shift using the clutch and foot shifting unless the oil change was passed due. With a quickshifter, you're often shifting at peak rpm and the HM shifter I have might just stick in false neutral. If that happens, don't try to shift down and start over. Shift up or just bear the humiliation and coast to a stop to get the bike in gear. I loved the sensation of the HM quickshifter I had on my old bike but if I ever do it again, I'll be a lot more careful. I did some damage to that transmission in just two situations of missing a shift. That never was a problem using the clutch. I will agree though, the feeling of a quickshifter makes the experience of riding a whole new story.

It might depend on the bike but an air shifter is what I heard works the best. I'm pretty sure I'd want a strain gauge foot shifter for road racing though. That's what I've used in the past. Straightline racing, I'd go with a strain gaauge shifter. OMG I have always loved the ones that do clutchless downshifts. Never tried one but I'm just amazed at the videos I've seen.
I actually watched the whole vid lol, it made me a little dizzy, and I won't bother again because I get the general gist of it. One thing stuck out though, where the guy said that the coils don't arc up again until you release the shift lever, so the faster you are on your boot, flick flick, the quicker the change? I makes sense of course but I never thought of it. Next time I'm out on the RR I'll experiment with slowww shifts and quick flicks of the toe. See if I can ascertain any difference.
Nah, you either push the shifter enough that the gear changes, or it doesn't...or it misses the shift.
You can't/shouldn't hold the shifter anyway, just touch it and the QS does the rest, but the whole process is so 'quick' regardless that the info on when the engine fires again can be a little misleading
