Anyone heard of these guys?

After riding stonsie's mt I'm more convinced that a quickshifter will be a good addition to the KTM.

Quickshifters do grab you once you've tried one don't they

Not seen that brand before but a google of reviews seems all positive so far

Had a translogic and that was buttery smooth.

Highly recommend it

You don't need one

You may want one

But you don't need one

I've has a couple of bikes with these on, the one on the current 600rr has packed up though and I've had a HM one fitted. But they work very well imo and are relatively easy to install.

Real men do clutchless upshifts anyway

If i had one i'd want it cheap or with an autoblipper for downshifts which are not cheap..

90% of the time I do. I'm finding though with the ktm's fueling and throttle response, even just closing and opening the throttle for a clutchless unsettles the suspension.

I'd love a blipper too, but I can't justify spending that sort of money. The one on stonsies mt was great, especially the rewarding little bark from the exhaust

Once you've had a quickshifter it's hard to go back. They really are good and the benefits are not just on track there a great mod for a road bike.

If you can get an autoblipper though go that route as it's another level of trickness altogether. I would say the downshifter is the best mod/feature I've had on any bike and really is a great performance aid

It's about £1200 for an autoblipper for the Street Triple. I think I'll give it a miss.

Ouch!

Think I'll stick to manual throttle blips as well. It is one of the most rewarding sounds when you nail a series of downshifts (cool)

If you are lucky enough to have ride by wire then a bilpper/shifter is cheap (£408 for mine compared to about £250 for the Yamaha shifter).

I still like to blip it myself when I'm just cruising around, the harder I ride the more sense it makes.

I'm having to re-learn how to ride if I m honest

I've always been smooth and mechanically sympathetic. The Pani is a different beast, it wants you to ride as quick as you dare, jump on the brakes on corner entry and then as late as possible smash it down the box with the auto-blipper, throw her on her side, whack open the throttle and the during all of that just let the electronics tidy it all up.

Totally having to re-calibrate my brain. I think I m leaving it late but I m not and this is going to take some adjustment but in a good way

I used to like the analogue world but I'm serious getting addicted to "1" and "0" the digital age is here and its bloody awesome

Used the healtech quick shifters recently had one on the gsxr zx10 and 675 it has worked well on each bike and the install is pretty easy.

Defo worth it. After having test rides on the new sports bikes and using the QS and autoplippers they are both amazing. Defo good mod to have

Totally agree Rossgo.

Someone said to me once you've tried one you will always want one and he was right.

After testing riding bikes with them fitted I ended up putting an aftermarket one on my 10r as you can't live without them once you've tried them

defo agreed that man was right!!
