Triumph Quickshifter - Worries!!!!

I have finally managed to install it last night but didn't get the opportunity to test it out. Hopefully this weekend I will give her a run

Only downside is I flattened the battery by leaving the ignition on whilst trying to adjust the sensor to get green light on Trans QS to come on. The upside I think I have got adjustment correct because now whenever I move the gear lever the green light comes on . I have put the battery on charger.

** Is this normal for a new (1-2 months old battery) to go flat like this (not flat but not enough power to crank the engine). When you hit the kill switch on - fule pump primes, Dash come on all good, all lights working but all you get is a "Click" when you hit the starter. I must left the ignition on for 5-10 mins!!!! **

The bike fired up when connected using jump leads from my car. Atleast she fires up. Initially I thought I messed something while taking the tank, airbox and fixing the coils as this was the 1st time I worked on Triumph.

Here we go.... install pics

 

It's too late on this :-(. I did fire her up with car engine running. I just hope I haven't fried anything. I am going to leave the battery on the optimate charger till Thursday meaning it would have had 12+ hours charge.

I will keep you guys posted on the QS once I get a chance to give her a run. Exciting times

cheers buddy

 

Ok here we go . ..

Went for a 20 miles blast. The shifting is super smooth with no glitches whatsoever . You can even shift from 1st to 2nd but you need to be above 3k. Took a nice long sweaper bend on 3rd (slightly hanging off), started going up the revs n started shifting . ...it was brilliant .....the shifting did not unsettle the bike at all. Before my 6th gear use to miss (more to do with my lazy shifting ), however with this unit it did not miss once.

The best thing is when you shift that millisecond noise (off the throttle noise ) is very addictive .

To be honest this is better suited for track days. But it was real fun through the back countryside roads . It's more of a fun factor than anything else unless ofcourse you are tracking .

I like this unit a lot. It feels like a good quality unit. Translogic support has been very welcoming . Also an American Triumph member (Matt) has been extremely helpful . He was kind enough to send me lots of close up pictures to help me get an understanding on how to mount the unit.

All in all.....I had good fun working the bike and the sound . ....oh yes ;-)

 

Hello mate

You can buy directly from Translogic (poole). I bought mine through Bikes HPS as they were 10% cheaper.

The American guy on you tube. ...his name is Matt. He helped me a lot to mount this unit.

I went for a good blast yesterday and I couldn't fault this unit.

All the best buddy
