Tiger 800 Tiger 900 Gt Shift Assist / Quickshifter

My Rally Pro shifts best, for me, 1) Rain Mode 2) Sport Mode 3) Road Mode is clunky. So I just keep it in Rain. This probably is of no help to you but just my thoughts.

 

I have a 2022 GT pro and mine shifts up with a surge. I can control that by perfectly timed manual nudge of my throttle, but that defeats the purpose of having a “quick shifter”
It’s roughy enough to cause helmets bumping if I have a passenger. I addressed that with my dealership at my first service, and I was told that that’s normal and they all shift like that, including the mechanic’s BMW. Well, I did not have that experience with the one BMW with shift assist that I rode for an elaborate test ride. Also, my son bought a 2021 tiger GT pro a few days before I bought my 2022 and his does not do that. His is smooth. I was told by the dealership mechanic that this is not adjustable. I have my doubts about that.

 

The few times that my bike was in for routine maintenance & this last time warranty work LED fog lamp out) the Triumph mechanics have been completely sloppy, unprofessional, careless (pick your favorite adjective). Who would install an LED fog light upside down and cocked to one side? Idiots.

 

I guess sloppy mechanics would!
Unfortunately, this is getting to be more common with any kind of service these days; and, of course, this happens at the highest prices I’ve ever paid for service.

 

Gjones, is the QS Install procedure something you can do on your own? If so, what are the steps?

I'd like to buy the part and install myself, but thought I had to take to the dealer to program it. Would be great if I can avoid taking it to the shop.

 

So what could this QS installation procedure be?

Is there any information whether the QS sensor has been updated with a new model after 2020?
Original seemed to be at least of extremely poor quality. It seemed that the rainy weather was poison for it.

 

I have developed arthritis in my left hand. I'm wondering if a QS install might allow me to keep riding a bit longer. This thread doesn't inspire confidence. My bike is a 2021 850 sport. My alternative is to go to a Honda with DCT. Any thoughts, experiences? I will need to use the QS as my primary shift tool.
